zfs discuss - Aug 2009 - Build 119 CIFS / Unix File Permission Oddity

Background:
Have a test server running SECE Build 119 configured as a CIFS server in Domain
Mode.  Build 119 was required because in our test environment we have a Windows
2008 Domain and the DCs have SP2 installed.  I Joined the server to the domain,
created a ZFS file system and shared it out.  All appears fine except.....

Problem:
If the CIFS share is mounted from another OpenSolaris or other Unix system, one
cannot redirect the output of a command to an existing file even though the user
has ownership and full control of the file.

Example:
   -bash-3.2# mount -F smbfs "//TESTDOMAIN;user at
FILESERVER/scratch/" /mnt/tmp
   -bash-3.2# cd /mnt/tmp
   -bash-3.2# ls -1
   file1
   file2
   -bash-3.2# ls > file1
   -bash: file1: Permission denied  (Yet I am the owner of the file and I can
delete the file)

I can append the file and delete the file, just not overwrite the file
   -bash-3.2# ls >> file1 (Works)
   -bash-3.2# rm file1 (Works)

Also, from a Windows system I can overwrite the file with the following command
at a command prompt:
P:\ dir > file1

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
