SELinux Write access for vsftpd and samba

SELinux Write access for vsftpd and samba

This should be easy enough I think, but I'm new to SELinux. I have a CentOS 6 file server. I have some LVM file systems at /var/media and I want to use both Samba and FTP to share them with a Windows machine. I am using ACLs so that permissions work nicely in Windows (I have a two user network). I've found that Samba, though working, is slow for file transfers, so I wanted to try FTP.
I'd like to keep using SELinux to keep things secure, but I'm running into trouble with accessing the files over FTP. I can read the files and write to my home directory. But I cannot write to files in /var/media (with the samba_share_t context).
I thought that allow_ftpd_use_cifs was supposed to handle that. I can get it to work with allow_ftpd_full_access, but I'd prefer to avoid this. What am I missing?
Here is the relevant info:
