Excuse my multiple posts but I also noticed your security is set to "user"
Windows uses the "users" group or alternatively you could try setting the security to everybody and then fine grain the permissions as you go along. Doubt its best practice though.
Make sure you restarting Samba each time you make a change to the config
What is user level "everybody"? i know of server, user, ADS and domain. Is there a way to just open it up? it is behind multiple firewalls and I dont care if this server is open to everyone. only 2 of us care that exists.
Windows has share permission (Sharing tab) for over the network and NTFS permissions (Security tab) for file and folder security. Normally share permissions would be set to everybody and the file and folder permissions will be finer grained using NTFS permission. IE: The security tab in the properties.
Users would normally be added as a group under the security tab
I found what was holding this back. I thought I had done a command line to disable SELINUX, but the config file still ahd it running. So I disabled selinux in the config file and rebooted. All seem right with the world.... until next time.
