Danial,

The above mentioned bug turned out to be a not a bug. After using 
"kernel share modes = No" for the share (which is expected) , it is 
working fine for me. I have also updated the bug with relevant 
information. Below are the settings for the share that worked for me. I 
used one of the Gluster node as the Samba server. Kindly try this out 
and let us know if it works for you.

[testvol]
     comment = For samba share of volume testvol
     path = /
     read only = No
     guest ok = Yes
     kernel share modes = No
     vfs objects = glusterfs
     glusterfs:loglevel = 10
     glusterfs:logfile = /var/log/samba/glusterfs-testvol.log
     glusterfs:volume = testvol

Thanks,
Lala
