Adding "inherit permissions = yes" to the share corrected all of the
problems mentioned above.

However, I now have a weird subset of problems:

All members of the staff-faculty group can create files on the share.

All members of the staff-faculty group can edit files on the share
regardless of who the file owner is.

*But* only the file owner can rename or delete the file. Of course this
causes all kinds of user issues....

Any thoughts on what to look at next?

Kind Regards,
