	I have the same problem. The share has a long list of
subdirectories (names of cities) and eventually users mode files
from one city to another one "by accident". :-s

	So far, I'm using vfs extd_audit in the shares to allow
tracking of files by the log. I'm playing with different kinds
of solutions:

	* Using something like aide/tripwire
	* Using some hand-made scripts to check this
	* Use sticky bits and ACL policies

	If it is, I don't know how. Sorry. :(

	But maybe, if you add here how to do that in MS Windows,
Samba Developers can take a look at the feature, perhaps it could
be quite simple to implement.
