iis security : Another type of access needed to 'save as' and .htm in IIS 6?

Hey there,
Migrated an IIS 5 on Windows 2000 site to IIS 6 on 2003 Web Edition server.
Everything is working great, EXCEPT:
Have a UNC share mapped to a share inside the intranet which is part of the
main site, not a separate site.
They simply (used to) open the share, and using their Modify NTFS permissions
on the .htm file, save a word doc AS a web page and updated the page.
Now after the migration, I had to reinstate their NTFS permissions. Did it, on the share,
on the file.
When they go to 'save as' the doc as a web page and replace the existing .htm page,
Word XP spouts a 'This file is Read Only' message and rejects the save.
Does the user now need access permissions in IIS 6 to the subdirectory in order to
change the web page? Didn't used to in IIS 5.0, 2000.
The file is NOT read only. Definitely not. They have all the NTFS they should need to
save over the file. I can only think that with the increased security in 6 and 2003, that
now they need access as an Author to change the page, or some other kind of access
that wasn't needed with the past OS and IIS 5.
Any help would be greatly appreciated..
