Right click on the folder and be sure that "other persons can change my files" or whatever it says is clicked.

Have you set up Samba? Does the Windows user have both an Ubuntu account and a Samba account (or do you have security=share in /etc/samba/smb.conf)? If you didn't specifically set up /etc/samba/smb.conf, the info may be in /var/lib/samba/usershares .

Does testparm shed any light - or is that what reported incorrect parameter?
