I have exactly the same issue on samba 3.0.2a - with parameter 'dos filemode=yes' still only the owner can set permissions on files and directories. I'm also using ACL support and user accounts from winbind.

Jeremy, care to spend a few cycles on this one ? Thanks.
I'm using samba 3.0.10 and having the same Problem. The only thing the parameter changes is that the user who has write access to the file, can change ownership.
