Next hypothesis: The GUI deletes the original file, then tries to save the updated version to the original file's name with the original file's ownership and permissions. Since the original file was owned by 'notme', your GUI tries to set the new ownership to 'notme'. This throws an error because you are not notme... But all hypothesizing aside, the right way to solve this is in the Samba logs. What do your Samba logs say? It would be helpful to compare logs for your successful vi operation against your unsuccessful GUI operation. You'll probably need to increase your log level in smb.conf: [global] log level = 3 This is a good puzzle.
