[Samba] Owner and Group ignored over preference to ACLs

[Justin Finkelstein]

Hi Karolin

After some time, I finally managed to recompile samba rather than using
the default RPMs.
I have a feeling that the default didn't have --enable-acls support,
which would explain it ignoring ACL information.

Thanks for your help; it works now!

Regards,

Justin
