[Samba] Unable to create new files in share

[Misty Stanley-Jones]

Hi all,

I have a share with the following share definition:

[HR_PR]
path = /data/samba/shares/HR_PR
valid users = @hr @acct_admin
browseable = yes
public = no
guest ok = no
force group = hr
inherit acls = yes
create mode = 770

The UNIX permissions on the directory are as follows:
drwxrwx---  2 root hr 4096 Apr 18 09:47 /data/samba/shares/HR_PR

When I 'su' to my user on the server, I can 'touch' new files just fine.

However when she tries to create a new file,  she gets the following error:

Also when she tries to modify any file, she gets access denied.  Every file in 
the directory has mod 770 with owner being root and hr being the group.

There are no ACLs defined for this share.

I am stumped!  Thanks for any help,
Misty
