As I have a mix of XP and Vista desktops, and my file server is Debian using Samba for the sharing aspect, I recently ran into an issue where trying to manage files over the network share, I'd get the error 'You need permission to perform this action'. I have full administrative rights on my account, matched to the credentials on the smb server.
A quick google search reports that if UAC is enabled, this isn't a problem. I disable UAC however because it's annoying.
The problem is that Samba is obeying the DOS attribute flag, and not allowing Vista to manage the files.
All that is needed to fix this, is tell samba to not store the DOS attribute flag in your smb.conf.
store dos attributes = no
restart samba, and now you can manage your files again without being told you need permission to perform this action.
