[Samba] Problem reading/writing permissions under Windows (V 2.2.8a)

It's not only about profiles but about files in general, I cannot read any permission.
I'm using Windows XP SP1.
One of the members in this list told me to switch to XFS, but it can't be that Samba isn't able to read, write and "translate" the permission settings. Well, I can't believe it ;-)

Sayonara,
Eric Veith

No.  This is usually seen when a fragmented RPC PDU needs to be continued
in an SMBread/write.

I'm just a little short on details?  What is the exact error?
Where are you storing profiles?  What are the permissions?  What 
client OS and SP?  etc....
