I filed https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12873 for this ACCESS_DENIED issue that happens when exporting the root filesystem ("/") and using symlinks, which is what the OP wanted fixed here but we ended up diving into https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12860, which is another valid regression. Maybe we should have another Ubuntu bug for #12873.
