I don't believe a killall -HUP init will do anything at all to Samba. All that does is tell init to re-read /etc/inittab and make the appropriate adjustments. You probably want to HUP smbd.

In addition, make sure that the files are writable by the group. Actually, if you're forcing Samba and Apache to run as the same user, I can't imagine any reason why it would be a permissions issue at that point. Verify they are indeed running as that user (via 'ps' output for example). If that isn't it, it's gotta be some additional Samba configuration item or something.
