This shouldn't be significant but is there a reason that you changed
your uid to 503 from 1003?

Hm, what does 'ls -ln' look like?  I can guess but I shouldn't do that. ;-)

That covers all the obvious things for me.  I'd recommend taking a look at
the SAMBA server to see if user IDs are mapped correctly.  Also, I know
there were some problems in the past with older Samba servers, bugs and
all.  Make sure you're using a current version there.  It may be
worthwhile to look at the permissions and owners from the Windows
perspective too.  If that doesn't get you anywhere, I'd recommend filing
a full problem report on your follow-up to the list.  See the link below
for full details:
