[Samba] Trouble installing SWAT on a Samba 4 Alpha 13 buildonUbuntu Server

With the help of John, and tms3, I was able to resolve the problem!

Once I corrected my fstab for /share with acl and user_xattr options, and
remounted the filesystem, that worked perfectly.  Mind you I did have to
delete the old /share/finance folder since it was created without the new
attributes. Its working perfectly now. I am able to use the built-in windows
file ACL tools to configure perms.

BTW, Ubuntu 10.10 uses ext4 by default, but I still had to install attr and
acl packages from the repos as they were not included in the default
install.  once I mounted the filesystem with users_xattr,acl  in fstab, it
worked perfectly.

Thank you for the fast responses and all the help!
