[Samba] Move Vs Copy

[Toby Bluhm]

Apparently, when you use MOVE or drag-n-drop in Explorer and the source 
dir and dest dir on the samba server are in the same filesystem, smb 
will essentially do a Unix mv command. Thus the file will retain the 
original permissions and ownership. As long as the user could write to 
the dir, it would ignore setguid, share modes, ACLs, etc.

We had a special directory setup to pass docs on to another group and 
occasionally users would forget to COPY and not MOVE the files there. I 
used a dnotify script on the samba server to monitor that dir and change 
perms when new stuff showed up. The other group could then delete the 
files.
