Possibly not, try

# store DOS attributes in extended attributes
        ea support = yes
        store dos attributes = yes
        map readonly = no
        map archive = no
        map system = no

and make sure you have mounted the file system with the user_xattr
option. If you are running a RHEL5 based distribution then upgrading to
the samba3x is advisable anyway.

JAB.
