[Samba] More on the archive bit saga

Duh, DOS thinks the file with the ACL set is a system file. I don't see 
the part in getfacl that says anything about that and I specifically 
gave it 660 using chmod. It is NOT a system file, but Samba is telling 
DOS it is.

MS Word still isn't setting the archive bit on a file (no ACL) that has 
a 660 setting. I just tested MS Word on a .doc file just in case there 
was something squirrelly going on there. It didn't set the archive bit. 
MS Excel doesn't have a problem properly setting the archive bit. That 
seems a bit . . . odd to me. What now?

Thank you for your help.
