When saving jpegs using Microsoft Office 2003 sp1 Picture Manager on win xp sp2 the file permissions are set wrong. Office 2003 and XP are fully patched. This mostly happens but not all the time. Only the saving user permissions are set instead of the usual acl inherited permissions. Saving other files to the same share such as docs etc results in the correct permissions. Directories are also created with the correct permissions. The share is on samba 3.0.11rc1 (because of the excel bug), mandrake 9.2 linux xfs file system with acls set. Any help would be appreciated.
