[Samba] Permissions not recursive on win2K?

Sorry for the report, but I got exactly zero replies, so I will try again:

I am now running 3.0.14a, but the permissions recursion problem still exists. Each time I apply permissions to a tree using the Win2K GUI, the addition or removal of an ACL will move exactly one level deeper than before. I
n other words, if the tree is 4 levels deep, it will take 3 passes of the
operation before the ACL change appears in the 4th level. This long
standing problem is seriously limiting our migration to samba. Can
someone please tell me if this has been fixed in 3.0.20?

I have offered configs, debug, etc. and the offer still stands. I just want to
see this problem fixed, and can't believe it is not affecting more users.

For the record, here is the environment:
Mandrake 10.1 with ACL support on XFS
The share used for testing the issue is the "home" share.
PDC is running NT4 SP6a
Client used for setting ACLs running Win2K SP4, tested using GUI, cacls,
and xcacls.
