I'm trying to copy files on a SMB fileshare. When I attempt to copy the files in Finder, I get the following error:

 The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items.

Copying via Terminal.app (using a simple cp command) works just fine.

Permissions on the folders (as seen from the computer attached to the fileshare) are as follows:

Any ideas?
