What are your share settings from smb.conf ?
One thing to consider is that samba clients cannot access a share to which
they do not have access peremissions.
The default smb.conf file has many examples at the end which could help you.
For my own public shares I use this configuration :-
[public]
path = /home/grant/public
valid users = derek,grant,abi,rosie,andy
force directory mode = 644
force group = grant
force user = grant
writeable = yes
comment = public share
force create mode = 644
In this example the shared directory is owned by user grant, so I allow other
valid users to have the same rights as the actual owner of the share.
