This is a limitation on the part of the Mac 'smbfs' client. We use the same code base on Solaris. The code is not currently able to do I/O on the part of multiple users; the user who was authenticated at mount time owns all of the files. Also, the Mac client does not try to parse ACLs at all, so permission mode bits and reported ownership are guesses done at the client. If you set ACLs on the server, they should be enforced, even if you can't see that from the Mac. If the ownership or perm bits are in your way on the Mac, you can use smbfs mount options to get it to tell you different things, but there's no way to see the truth until more code is written.
