# Extended Attributes and they are enabled (usually by the mount option
# user_xattr). Thess options will let the admin store the DOS attributes
# in an EA and make samba not mess with the permission bits.

# Note: these options can also be set just per share, setting them in global
# makes them the default for all shares

Please post ls -al on your share folder and your smb.conf share definition.
