Bob,

    Is there a way to override this behavior?  It is really
annoying to have to do it by hand.

    If not, would the Thunar folks please consider
a configuration option to override this behavior.

from samba's smb.conf:

; map archive owner execute bit must include 0100
; map system  group execute bit must include 0010
; map hidden  world execute bit must include 0001
; Note: after doing all the above map stuff, it is a good idea to do
;       a mass chmod to 2766 (Read Only=off, Archive=on, Hidden=off).
;       And, you definitely want hidden to be turned off!!!
    map archive = yes
    map system = yes
    map hidden = yes
