I read and followed that wiki meticulously during the setup.  The 
problem *appears* to be how the files were originally copied over from 
the Synology nas which previously owned the files.  The problem is now 
resolved by:

1: mv Accounting/* acct_tmp

2: rsync -avP acct_tmp/* Accounting/

I'm assuming since I didn't have -X it lost the xattrs and -A it lost 
the original ACLs and copied them with the defaults.

Looking at the permissions in windows, the files and folders are all now 
correct.
