sounds like a file permissions problem
who owns the /windows directory and what are its permissions?
ls -ld /windows
the shortcut (and least secure) method to fix this might be
chmod 777 /windows
you may wish to force a group onto the share to avoid it being
read/write for all.
e.g. chgrp users /windows
chmod g+ws /windows
and in your share definition:
force group = users
