Hello Alex,
I'm still trying hard to understand what you are speaking about, to figure out the environment you are struggling with.
For example, you're mentioning HTTP and AFP sharing but then you seem to suspect smbd not being able to do its job...
Anyway, please find hereafter some questions that could help to circumscribe the problem.

The other day, you wrote 10.8.3.
I don't know whether this detail may be of some importance in this case, but detail may be evil.

So, I guess this is a folder on the server?
What is the share point? /? /Users? /Users/SVN? /Users/SVN/Sites? /Users/SVN/Sites/Synched Folders? or /Users/SVN/Sites/Synched Folders/Videos?
What are the sharing settings for that share point?
(the output of the relevant serveradmin commands would probably be the most enlightening; or, even better but may be somewhat lengthy, the output of "serveradmin settings all", of course with sensitive info anonymized).

Do you mean something like /Users/SVN/Sites/Synched Folders/folder1?
Again, what is the share point and its sharing settings?
(of course, may be the same as in previous question)
Now, just to be sure: the same script fails when attached to Videos but succeeds when attached to folder1?
Could you provide us with the output of following commands:
ls -alde /
ls -alde /Users
ls -alde /Users/SVN
ls -alde /Users/SVN/Sites
ls -alde /Users/SVN/Sites/Synched\ Folders
ls -alde /Users/SVN/Sites/Synched\ Folders/Videos
ls -alde /Users/SVN/Sites/Synched\ Folders/folder1
> Upon adding a file or folder to the above folder, this is what happens in the console:

How does an item get added to folder Videos or folder1?
By hand, when logged in (as which user?) on the server?
Automatically, by some process running on the server (as which user?), without anybody logged in?
Remotely, thru a sharing protocol (which one?)?
Could you also provide a minimal folder action script displaying above behavior (failure on Video, success on folder1)? Probably just a "adding folder items" handler with the problematic file writing action: the script you provided the other day is faaaar too complicated for me. ;-)
Axel
