samba

I have a share set up on my ubuntu 10.04 box, and the mac can see it, connect to it, and sort of write to it.

When I try to copy a whole tree to the share, I get an error saying "The operation cannot be completed because you don't have access to some of the items". If I zip the directory, and copy that over, it succeeds.

Any explanation?

My smb.conf:

[global]
workgroup = wg
netbios name = ubuntu
security = user

[Wife Debris]
path = /home/wife/wifedebris
read only = no
guest ok = no
force user = wife
force group = wife
