[Samba] Remove all Windows ACL's from files/folders

I tweaked the POSIX perms to rwx.rwx.rwx before I saw this message (along with a few other things) and suddenly the Windows ACL's started applying properly.
And it was more than just simply allowing the user in - it was doing multiple things differently.
 
(But I wasn't as methodical about exactly changed, as I could have been, so I'm not sure it was the POSIX change that did it. I was setting up another test case and it was having the same general symptoms - Windows ACL's not being applied correctly.)
 
So, I have a few additional tests to run to verify that things are working as they should now.
Since I need to get the production server up and running, I'm just going to not look the gift horse in the mouth right now and take what's working.
 
Then, when I have a little more breathing room, I'll go back and setup some test cases again, on a test share and see if I can provoke the same behavior and tease out what was causing it.
 
So, I'll probably just start a new thread once I reach that point.
 
Thanks for the pointers everyone. I wish I knew what caused it to flip.
