This now seems to be solved for me. I don't have a real good explanation because I basically used the shotgun method and reimaged my server with Debian and set up everything from scratch. I installed autofs to auto mount the drives and configured my shares in samba swat. It took some playing around with my samba config to get it working but now I can mount shares and read and write. My config looks like this:

Code:

[global]
	server string = %h server
	map to guest = Bad User
	obey pam restrictions = Yes
	pam password change = Yes
	passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
	passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .
	unix password sync = Yes
	syslog = 0
	log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
	max log size = 1000
	dns proxy = No
	usershare allow guests = Yes
	panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
	idmap config * : backend = tdb

[homes]
	comment = Home Directories
	valid users = %S
	create mask = 0700
	directory mask = 0700
	browseable = No

[printers]
	comment = All Printers
	path = /var/spool/samba
	create mask = 0700
	printable = Yes
	print ok = Yes
	browseable = No

[print$]
	comment = Printer Drivers
	path = /var/lib/samba/printers

[media]
	path = /media/usb0
	valid users = ryan
	admin users = ryan
	read only = No
	create mask = 0777
	directory mask = 0777

[backup]
	path = /media/backup
	valid users = ryan
	admin users = ryan
	read only = No
	create mask = 0777
	directory mask = 0777

I have already reinstalled my server 4-5 times in the past 2 months trying to figure everything out and also have been going back and forth between CentOS and Debian trying to figure out what I like better. The good thing is I am learning a bit about both OS and the differences. Now I will move on to figuring out KVM and the plan is to run virtual CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu servers so I can get exposure on everything

Well, "ouch", but as long as you learned something and it's working.

Backup the smb.conf from now on?

SWAT's ok, I have to use it myself configuring that stuff.

Peace.
