Problem with XP access to SMB xsan Volume reshare

Situation:

XSan 2 with 2 metadata controllers and two clients which are doing a reshare of the Xsan Volume over AFP and SMB with Mac OS X Server 10.5 8

After upgrading to Snow 10.6.4 on all computers problems start occurring with PCs connecting to the SMB Share

When running Office 2003 or 2007 and opening a document on the share the document is able to be opened correctly. After editing, when the user attempts to save the document they get a no permissions error.

Before the document save is attempted the rights are

ACL Accounting full control

Posix
admin read and write
accounting read and write
everyone no access

After

ACL
blank

Posix
PC user no access
accounting read only
everyone no access

If the same user opens a PDF in the same smb share using Acrobat , the privileges function correctly and do not change.

This behavior did not happen with 10.5.8

I would assume it has something to do with the version of Samba in 10.6.4, but it works properly for shares that are hosted on the non XSan volume on the SMB servers, so it seems like it might be a conflict between the Xsan (2.2.1), Server 10.6.4, SMB, and the PC Office Suite.

Anyone else run into this or have suggestions?

Extended Attributes is not enabled on the Volume.

The entire Volume is not shared, only folders on the volume.

The problem still occurs if the volume is only being shared by one Mac OS X server. It doesn't occur is the shared folder is on a local hard drive on the file server only when the shared folder is on the Xsan Volume.

It only happens when using a program from the MS Office Suite. We are using XP. Using MS office from a Mac on the smb share works normally.

I know this topic is really old... but I'm experiencing the same problem and cannot find a solution.
My servers are running OS X 10.6.8 with Xsan 2.2.2, and the windows clients, using SMB share points, after editing Microsoft office documents create the POSIX permission to have "no access"
I've already tried disabling the extended attributes on the server.

Any other help?
