Samba - why isn't "force user" working as I expect?

At the end of my smb.conf file I have:-
[Scans]
comment = Digikam scans for chrisx
path = /home/chrisx/pictures/Scans
writeable = yes
force user = chrisx
[xpIsbd]
comment = ISBD on XP
path = /home/isbd/xpIsbd
writeable = yes
force user = isbd
I thought this would mean that when I connect to these shares from my
XP machine (on which I am user chris) any files and/or directories I
create there would be created as users chrisx and isbd respectively.
However it's not working, I can connect to the shares without any
problem but files/directories are always created with owner chris.
What am I doing wrong?
(This is samba 3.0.28a on Fedora 8)
