[Samba] (no subject)

I have an issue with W2K/XP using Folder Redirection to a Samba homes share
(or any share for that matter). This is only a problem when access for a
user is via an ACE (ACL) and not the traditional file system permissions.
So for example (user is test in this example):
# ls -ld History/
drwxrwx---+   3 root     root         4096 Apr 12 21:15 History/
# getfacl History
# file: History
# owner: root
# group: root
user::rwx
user:test:rwx
group::r-x
group:c-l-management:rwx
group:q-l-management:rwx
group:c-l-management (read):r-x
mask::rwx
other::---
default:user::rwx
default:user:test:rwx
default:group::r-x
default:group:c-l-management:rwx
default:group:q-l-management:rwx
default:group:c-l-management (read):r-x
default:mask::rwx
default:other::---

I have also tried this using the "profile acls = yes" option, but with no
success (works fine if similar permissions are used for raoming profiles
tho, as it was designed to do).

It seems that Windows may be trying to set acls on index.dat which seems to
fail if default (parent) permissions come from ACLs only. Here's an
indication of this from the samba log:
[2005/04/12 21:44:55, 2] smbd/posix_acls.c:set_canon_ace_list(2436) 
set_canon_ace_list: sys_acl_set_file failed for file
k-drive/History/History.IE5/MSHist012005041220050413/index.dat (Operation
not permitted).
[2005/04/12 21:44:55, 2] smbd/close.c:close_normal_file(270)   DBR05A+cath
closed file k-drive/History/History.IE5/MSHist012005041220050413/i
ndex.dat (numopen=3)

Any help would be appreciated. I expect that this may be an Samba issue
that might need to be looked at by the samba-technical gods.
