I have encountered a problem that was reproducible on 3 different workstations accessing a common Samba/VMS server.
Sample files created using both "DOS" window and GUI, and deleted using both "DOS" window and GUI. Confirming message and file display removal occurred normally with the GUI.
Subsequent DIR or GUI view refresh showed the file had in fact *not* been deleted.
I can confirm this behavior, but I remember that I had some problems when trying to delete some files on a Samba server - I got error messages which stated that the file was in use ... (sorry, can't remember the correct message).
Now I tried to delete some files, and they seemed to be deleted in the windows explorer, but after refreshing teh view (F5) they reappeared. VMS dir confirmed that they were still there.
Strange effect: deleting the same file(s) worked on the same windows PC (WinXP Pro) from a cygwin shell (rm filename ...)!
I can copy and rename files successfully with the windows explorer, but deleting the files doesn't work - strange ...

P.S.: Samba Version 2.2.8, release 20041021
