If users cannot overwrite their OWN files, it is probably a default acl
gone wrong or an overly-restrictive creation mask.  If users cannot
overwrite files other users write, then it's probably the opposite (you
need a loose default acl, or a generous force create mask).

Showing any lines in smb.conf that affect file/directory mask or acl's
would be useful, along with the output of "getfacl [filename]" for one
of the files in question.
