Unless I'm totally misunderstanding the problem (or the replies) I think 
we're attacking the problem from the wrong end. The RAID server is 
correctly configured for Windze boxes, I think the problem lies on the 
linux boxes which are trying to connect. I can't directly edit the smb.conf 
file on the RAID server.

If I chgrp or chmod on the box that has mounted the share, the commands 
appear to work in that they don't come up with errors but in fact nothing 
changes.

Maybe I'm being thick here.
