[Samba] Phantom permissions -- where should I look ?

Using 3.0.28a.
I have a file:
-rw------- 1 lynda SMB_USER 89 2008-05-22 17:03 lynda at adviva[2].txt
Using "cp -a" I created an apparently identical copy except a trivially
different name:
-rw------- 1 lynda SMB_USER 89 2008-05-22 17:03 lynda at adwiwa[2].txt
Using vim I created a brand new file, with identical contents and
similar name:
-rw------- 1 lynda SMB_USER 89 2008-05-22 18:18 lynda at adviva[1].txt
However, when I try to type these in a Command Prompt, I get:
Z:\>type lynda at adviva[2].txt
Access is denied.
Z:\>type lynda at adwiwa[2].txt
ansv4_uid
.....
Z:\>type lynda at adviva[1].txt
Access is denied.
Curiously, when I try this from a different Windows machine, I get:
Z:\>type lynda at adviva[2].txt
ansv4_uid
.....
Z:\>type lynda at adwiwa[2].txt
ansv4_uid
.....
Z:\>type lynda at adviva[1].txt
ansv4_uid
.....
There appears to be a phantom permission setting which is partly
filename specific or machine specific. Or there is some subtle
difference between the machines....
Can anyone suggest where I should be looking for this ? (getfacl shows
nothing more than the basic permissions).
[I can edit lynda at adviva[2].txt without making any difference.]
