I agree with Mikkel about spaces.  Some applications are fussier than others - 
some want spaces, some don't, but samba uses them by default, so I'd keep 
them there.

Just one more suggestion to try.  Have you got 'security = user' or 'security 
= share' in your global section?  Try the other one.  If it makes any 
difference it would give a pointer to the problem.
