Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Saw this one just the other day. Samba did not automatically create the spool directory. Then when I created it manually it still wouldn't write to it, so I made it 777 and it started to work. Weird.

First off, the default spool directory is: /usr/spool/samba
That is wrong, of course, but there it is.
Second, no indication who should own it.

I found the error in /var/log/messages:

Mar 30 08:33:08 eragon smbd[27923]: '/usr/spool/samba' does not exist or permission denied when connecting to [lp] Error was No such file or directory

Good Luck!
