Perhaps you have removed a directory on a share that is managed through 
Samba and somehow you have had a ACL entry that allowed you to remove that 
directory ?.

This patch is unsuitable for implementation. It effectively removes ACL 
access for determining writes to a object that you have ACL write access 
to.
