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.
