i've tried the howto's and i think my brain is shutting down. i've
tried trimming down the useless entries to what i have changed.

[homes]

[R2314]

Dumb question - can you see hbrhodes and klrhodes home directory?
(Depending on the Windows user.) Also, can hbrhodes and klrhodes
write to /misc/R2314? If not, you may want to use "force user" to
set the uid used when Samba writes to the share.

i can see the home directory and i can see the R2314 directory
contents. however, it will not let me write to either, and it will not
let me see the files in the directory, it will let me see folders and
sub folders but not files.
Generally I have found it's awkward to impossible to write to a
windows machine unless the account and smbpasswd entry match one
on the windows machine. Mounting usually works best if I use the
form that includes the username and password to use when mounting
the share.
