Try this...........

create a group called users and add yourself to that group
Then change the share to something like this ....

[name_of_the_share]

path=/directory/directory
force group =  [at] users
force create mode = 0770
force directory mode = 0770
valid users =  [at] users
write list =  [at] users
writable = yes
browseable = yes


cd .../ to/your/documents/directory

chgrp users /directory/directory
chmod a-rwx /directory/directory
chmod ug+rwx /directory/directory

You should now be able to save MS Windows documents to your chosen 
directory on your Linux box.  Other thing is .... do make sure that 
you don't keep any documents on your gateway box.  And, any gateway 
box that you might have shouldn't have X-windows installed at all.

Thanks
