Yes. I tested this by creating a file from linux and a file from windows:
Same user/group, and rw by the user, which is all I need.

-rw-rw-r-- 1 williams webeditors 0 Nov 3 10:23 lin.txt
-rwxr--r-- 1 williams webeditors 0 Nov 3 10:20 win.txt

That didn't help either.

The 'write lock stolen' error might indicate something is wrong with samba's
locking, but I haven't found any settings that look wrong. I also tried it
on a different machine, and get the same error with samba-3.0.4 and samba-2.0.7.
