When copying files/folders from a share on a Windows server to a shared location on our OSX (10.4.7 Server) using a Snow Leopard workstation.

We have Linux, Windows and OSX workstations that need to access the files on the OSX server's share. *All using the same credentials*. Here is what is strange, the Windows users can access the files. The OSX workstations can access the files. The Linux users and the (admin) user logged on to the sever itself cannot access the files.

On the OSX server itself, the folder has a little red indicator on it with a line through the icon. Get Info -> Ownership & Permission has "You have [No Access]".

I looked into `chmod -R -N` on the server, but I guess this version of OSX Server does not support then -N switch. Anyway, I would rather get to the root cause.

This only happens on files/folders that are copied from a separate Windows server's share.

All copying is being done from any Snow Leopard OSX Workstation.

We even tried copying the files from the Windows Servers to the local workstation, then copying them to the OSX server, same result.

Any suggestions as to where to begin debugging this? Is there anyway for the Snow Leopard users to copy files from the Windows server to the OSX server without copying permissions? (or ACLs?)

UPDATE: By checking "Ignore ownership on this volume" for the volume in question, I am now allowed to access the folders on the OSX server itself. However the Linux clients still cannot access said folders.
