[Samba] Unable to write to a share that I should have access to

[Rob Campbell]

Ok.  What about this one, it's ext4 along with all the others.

testparm -s:
[Photos]
comment = Photo Storage
create mask = 0777
directory mask = 0777
force create mode = 0777
force directory mode = 0777
inherit acls = Yes
path = /multimedia/Photos
read only = No
valid users = @HOME\Photos_Users @HOME\Multimedia_Users

/etc/samba/smb.conf:
[Photos]
comment = Photo Storage
path = /multimedia/Photos
writeable = yes
guest ok = no
browseable = yes
create mask = 0777
force create mode = 777
force directory mode = 777
inherit acls = Yes
read only = no
directory mask = 0777
valid users = @HOME\Photos_Users, at HOME\Multimedia_Users

The user is a member of both Photo_Users and Multimedia_Users.  Just for
now, I just want to be able to write.  In the future, I'd want Photo_Users
to be able to write but Multimedia_Users only be able to read.

Previously I was mounting through /etc/fstab but that gave everyone on that
workstation access and I didn't want that but it allowed me to write
//fs01/seagate /multimedia/Seagate             cifs
 credentials=/root/.smbinfo,uid=1000,gid=1001    0 0

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In all things, Be Intentional.
