Package: samba
Version: 3.0.10-1
Followup-For: Bug #259687

I have the same problem. According to the smb.conf manpage:

    write list (S)
        This  is  a  list of users that are given read-write access to a
        service. If the connecting user is in this list then  they will
        be  given  write  access, no matter what the read only option is
        set to. [snip]

However, my smb.conf would not work and kept giving me a permission
denied error until I added "read only = no" as the first submitter did
to each share. This behavior differs from Samba 2.2.4, which I have
running under PlayStation 2 Linux.

No write access:
[downloads]
path = /var/tmp/downloads
guest ok = no
read only = yes
max connections = 2
user = deb
write list = deb

Write accessible:
[downloads]
path = /var/tmp/downloads
guest ok = no
read only = no
max connections = 2
user = deb
write list = deb
force user = deb
