That's normal with Office 2007. Thanks to M$. They create a NEW file, when the user saves the old one, delete the old one, then rename the new file to the old name. So, your users are able to update files with office 2007, only when they have write permissons on the directory.

[Samba] Samba ACL and Office 2007
I am using samba 3.3.2-1 in a debian squeze installation, using ext3 with acl support. The problem I am experiencing is easy to replicate as I have tried it in different machines. In a given share, user "A" is the owner of the folder "test", inside this folder there is a office file "test.doc" for example. User "B" has write privileges over file "test.doc" but not over "test". When user "B" tries to save the office document (using office 2007) an error appears "Access Denied. Contact your administrator". # file: test # owner: A # group: G user::rwx group::r-x other::--- # file: test.doc # owner: A # group: G user::rwx user:B:rwx group::r-x mask::rwx other::--- Notice that if the user copy the file to his desktop, modifies it and later overwrites the original there is no problem. This error is similar in some ways to this https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6160, but i suppose now the lock over the folder. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
