OK, I can verify that the change to the workgroup setting is now in effect. As far as I can tell this is a result of restarting nmbd (I didn't restart it explicitly but as a consequence of booting the machine.)
I'm glad to hear that samba works correctly for you. Unfortunately it does not work reliably for a great many others, which makes me question its suitability as Ubuntu's default file-sharing mechanism.
