Corey Hart asked me (off-list) to check the permissions on the spool 
directory.  They are:

	$ ls -ld /var/local/samba/spool/
drwxrwxrwt    2 root     nogroup      4096 Aug  7 13:24 
/var/local/samba/spool/

(This is based on advice to make a separate spool directory, with the 
same permissions as /tmp has.)
