You can only store so much information in the UNIX permissions. My 
solution was to activate extended attribute support and disable the old 
style attribute mapping:

	ea support = yes
	map archived = no
	map hidden = no
         map system = no
	store dos attributes = yes

This way the system stores the DOS attributes in the extended 
attributes. You need to have a filesystem that supports extended 
attributes (e.g. ext3 & xfs) for this to work.
