Yes, I know.  I originally only had writable = yes, but I added the other
out of frustration with Samba insisting the share is read-only.

Yes, I sent the HUP signal to the daemon to tell it to re-load its
configuration file.

Would they?  I figured only Domain Admins would be allowed to access the
share at all, then the "force group" would take effect after that.  I took
the "force group" line out, but it made no difference, I still can't create
any files.
