That is doggy ancient ticket, and fixed.


# store DOS attributes in extended attributes (vfs_gpfs then stores them 
in the file system)
	ea support = yes
	store dos attributes = yes
	map readonly = no
	map archive = no
	map system = no
	map hidden = no

Will most likely fix it for you. It is down to Office 2007 onwards 
trying to preserve ACL's on a save. So you should find a save as works, 
no ACL's to preserve but saving an existing file does not.
