May I suggest this

[publica]
          path = /sis/publica/
          public = yes
#          only guest = yes
          writable = yes
          force user = sis
          force group = sis

This should solve your problem as samba by default set a share as read only and you
need to set them to writable, hence "read only = No" is not equal to "writable =
yes".
