ok, solution... and what I can't believe is I didn't catch this myself *blush* && beat the crap out of... Microsoft is the $devil here... files were being placed in a directory, and with NTFS, the defaults are, "inherit perms of parent". This is always true by default unless a directory is specifically told not to inherit or pass down it's permissions. Somehow the SMB share was being retarded and needed to be beat around, b/c the perms on some files didn't inherit from parent... and it just *so* happened to be the ones with form fillable vs the ones which weren't. What a strange coicidence to make it a PITA to troubleshoot. At least I can admit my errors... please not jokes about using NTFS (at least on list)... :p
