I suspect that in order to get the system bit back you have to mount that
iso filesystem and re-export it via samba, with the system bit mapped
again. The reason being that Samba is mapping the system bit to the "group
execute" bit in ext2fs, I'm not sure how that is mapped into iso9660, but
I've got to think Windows won't grok it; let alone be able to perform the
needed reverse mapping.

Perhaps iso9660 isn't the best choice of formats... I know my windows
based burner software seems incapable of preserving the system attribute
at all; even with joliet and rockridge formats.
