Explorer doesn't show you the real rights you have on a Samba share. It
shows you what Samba tells it - which isn't always the real truth
because of the Linux right interfering.

Try creating a file, modifying it, removing it, renaming it, moving it.
Only if all that works (oh, don't forget to change filedates/readonly
flags/system flags/...) then you know you have those right.
