Just to be clear:  you restored the data from a backup, but you did not restore the samba config from a backup, right?  If so, then I'd look hard at your samba config and make sure it's correct.

You should also check the permissions on the parent directory -- the directory that contains the samba share.  Make sure that is the same as it was in your original setup.  

You seem to be saying that a user cannot copy and paste a file from a samba share to his desktop unless the file itself has unix write permissions on it.  That should not be.  Are you sure the users are not trying to *cut* and paste?  That would require write permissions, since it involves deleting the file from its original location.
