[Samba] "x" permission interpretation under Windows

Hi

How does Windows interpret the 'x' attribute for the file's 'other' attribute
field?

If I give a *file* a 0775 permission Windows XP clients cannot see the file. 
Not even the group members.

If I change this permission to 0774 the file becomes visible to everyone.
(smbclient sees the file either way).

This file in under a directory which has 2775 as permission and 
"inherit permissions = yes". Samba is 3.0.20b

Does the 'x' attribute of a file behave backwards as for directories under
Windows point of view??

Or better yet, what am I doing wrong?

Regards
