I don't think you can have x without r (at least it is not
meaningful). If you think about it the client needs to read the file
in order to execute it, and there is no way (particularly with a samba
server) that the server can tell whether the user is actually going to
execute it or just read it.  If fact with a server even the x is just
advisory. Again there is nothing the server can do to prevent the
client executing the file after it has read it.
