Greetings,
Thanks for the rapid reply. I have posix locking set to no due to an
issue with MS Word and Excel documents on machines with XP SP3
installed. IIRC, it was this thread that helped me crack that issue:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg93598.html.
The users that need to access that share are in a unix group called
"office" which has read/write/execute over /home/fourier/office. They
all have unix accounts.
Thanks again!

posix locking = No
First of all, why do you need "posix locking = No"? According to
the smb.conf man page, you should never need to disable file
locking this way.
Also, check if your users, who need access to that share, have the
proper UNIX permissions to "/home/fourier2/office". Are your user
mappings set up correctly? Keep in mind, that you need to create
UNIX accounts for all of your Windows users, to maintain
permissions correctly.
You can easily check, if you have a UNIX account for a user by typing
id <username>
on your Samba server.
