I am experiencing the same problem. The recycle vfs module is quite buggy,
IMHO.

The  touch  option  does  not  seem  to  work, and also recycle needs some
adjustments  to  the  way  it  manages  permissions,  becuse by default it
creates  files and the .recycle directory itself with a permission of 0600
(or  0700)  which is absolutely wrong when working on a share that's used
by a group of users and not a single one.

Still  it seems that the recycle VSF module is of quite no interest, since
these long standing bug have never been taken into account. Since I am not
so good at C programming, I can't fix them myself, so I'm just waiting
for
someone to fix it.

You  should  also  check  on  bugzilla.samba.org  by  searching  the  term
"recycle". There are some patches that where never (AFAIK) integrated
into
mainstream sources.

Not true (that "the recycle VSF module is of quite no interest"),
it's just that
the squeeky wheel tends to get the grease. You've squeeked, and I'm not
applying
grease :-).

Sorry for the problems,

Jeremy.

I miss-spoke - I actually meant to type "I'm applying grease" :-).

I've added both the pending patches for the next release.

We don't generally publish schedules on the web site but are
pretty open on samba-technical list about upcoming plans.
We're trying to get next production release (3.0.20) out by
the end of July.
