You did report it before, but it isn't a samba problem - I checked the
samba configuration and it is correct. Unfortunately I didn't check
further at the time, and didn't find the real problem.

The permissions are correct. Both "admin" and the group "shared" have
access to the files and directories in "primary" - that is sufficient.
The problem, BTW, is that some code which runs during post-upgrade sets
permission 0640 on /home/e-smith/files/primary/* - which is correct for
files, but incorrect for directories.
To correct on a running system, do:
chmod ug+x /home/e-smith/files/primary/foo
for each directory "foo". We'll fix it for rawhide and for 4.1.
Thanks for the reports and the testing.
