Try running the "smbstatus" command on your samba server after connecting to it. It'll show the current list of connections,
including
the usernames it is using. Check to see that it's got the right
username
and isn't using the guest account (e.g. "smbnobody").

That was run from the root prompt via a vnc connection to my samba box -- If you need me to do it a different way, please let me know
The samba server has authenticated you as user "MCASCHOOL\tholmes". This is different from the username "tholmes", so by default it will not be able to write to the home directory of user "tholmes".
One way to work around this is to use a username map (/etc/samba/smbusers) containing lines like this:
tholmes = MCASCHOOL\tholmes
This would handle the authentication for MCASCHOOL\tholmes but then use the account tholmes instead of creating a new one for MCASCHOOL\tholmes.
You'd need to do that for all users that have a home directory on your server that you want them to be able to access. There's almost certainly a much better way of doing it (e.g. by auto-creating home directories for users such as MCASCHOOL\tholmes when they connect), but I don't know what it is.
