you don't undestand filesystem permissions

the directory needs 755 (executable) but the file on a smb share only 
644 (exectute permissions should be avoided in general where they are 
not needed)

Permission Types
execute - The Execute permission affects a user's capability to execute 
a file or view the contents of a directory.
