Thank you a lot.  This happened to be the problem.  When I created a
local user again and matched it to the LDAP uid, samba worked as I was
expecting.

It actually made sense now that initially, the directory was owned by
user 500 - existed on FTP, but there was no user with that ID on samba
server.  So, the server replaced "username1" with uid 500
