Well, part from the above explanations, could you post your smb.conf, explain exactly what problem is happening and eventually post level 3 logs (at first attempt....). Up to now, we're mostly in the dark to understand what your problem might be. I seem to understand you're using "valid users" in the [globals] section. If you do so, don't be surprised to get unexpected results. "valid users" is a "share" parameters as explained in the smb.conf manpage (funnily, it seems to work slightly but that may be mor ea kind of side effect than anything really intended).
