So a folder with the read-only attribute set is actually considered writeable. Nautilus however considers it actually read only and deactivates certain features like creating files and folders. This should not happen. A description of the Windows behaviour is at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326549 . Also the underlying smb and gvfs do allow proper write access (e.g. via shell commands). Nautilus however interprets the missing "w" flag and deactivates certain operations. Nautilus should recognise that a folder is a smb mount and still assume write access.
