The problem is not in teaching samba anything. When you delete a directory in windows explorer it doesn't just send a command to delete the directory. It recurses down the directory and first sends commands to delete each individual file and then sends a command to delete the directory. Samba has no way of knowing when it starts getting these delete commands that the user is trying to delete the upper directory until all the files have already been deleted.
