That just means you didn't set it up as you claimed, i.e. that you
forced the user/group to fixed values. I guess the reason for that is
that a local mount circumvents Samba. Just mount the Samba share
locally, too, and use that to access the working copy.

That said, I tend to agree with others that this kind of setup is not
really stable and also, using a single working copy, you waste the
advantage of detached development. Imagine I make one breaking change
and then leave the house for lunch. Everyone else will have to wait for
me to return before they can continue. Alternatively, they revert my
changes, losing hours of my work. Even worse, if I have a file open in
an editor and someone changes it, I might accidentally overwrite the
changes. Or, someone checks in their changes while I save a file, so
their checking includes my half-finished changes.

Good luck anyway!
