I just updated to the latest (non-beta) firmware 4.2.19. On a first test, this seems to have fixed the problem. I was able to create a folder on a share from "computer A" logged in as myself. I then added a text document to that folder from "computer B" logged in as my wife. I was able to modify and save that file from "computer A," still logged in as myself.
Previously, under 4.2.17, I would get "access denied" messages when trying to modify a file/folder as any user other than that file/folder's creator (which was NOT the intended behavior on a family share!).
I will do some more testing and post the folder settings later... but for those of you who have been struggling with this (at least in a Windows environment), I recommend the upgrade to 4.2.19.
