Lets walk through the relevant part of that parameter:
'ignore system acls'

It does what it says, with it set, Samba totally ignores the Unix acls
you can see with 'ls' and getfacl. You must set the permissions from
Windows and either read them from Windows or with tools such as
'samba-tool ntacl get'.
