Perhaps you should enclose relevant parts of your
smb.conf file, the global section and the section
for the share in which you're not able to change
ACLs.

This example doesn't show any ACLs! These are
normal permission bits as displayed by getfacl.
The command would show them even if ACL support
weren't there. Do some setfacl for some other
user or group and then do getfacl.

It's too early for any theories. Do the homework 1st.
