chmod had no effect on the permissions, one thing I failed to mention is the
disk is fat32 formatted (its a 200gb external usb hard disk).

All the users should have the same permissions as (you can see from the share
names) this is where we save all the music, pictures and videos (Zunk is
where we drop stuff for other to grab, doc, updates etc.), but yes when she
rips a cd I have go and sort the mess out!!
