Suggest that you create a netatalk/samba share on an ext2/ext3 filesystem - set the permissions for the user and/or group for that location and if you encounter the same problem, try saving it to this other Appleshare/SMB Share volume and see if that helps/tells you something about filesystem differences. Also suggest that if you want deeper consideration, you consider showing how the VFAT is mounted in /etc/fstab, what user is logging in via Samba/Netatalk, perhaps some snippets of logs, upping the 'log level' because it probably will tell you what the problem is.
