Double-check the NTFS permissions for the folder and make sure UserA has "Modify" access to the specified folder...?

Just a reminder that with Windows file sharing "Most-restrictive" is the effective permission. That is, the most-restrictive setting for a particular user / group in both Sharing and NTFS security settings is the effective permission.
Normally, the industry-standard way of sharing folders is to do wide-open "Sharing" permissions, either "Everyone" or "Domain Users", and then lock it down using the NTFS permissions. This is because the NTFS permissions are more granular and offer a greater degree of control. For example, with NTFS permissions, a user / group can create new files in a folder, but they can't modify existing files.
Anyways, just a reminder. Used to drive me nuts back when I was playing with Windows 2000...

Not surprising. Most businesses go by the rule of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
