Have you run /usr/local/bin/testparm?
Have you checked the samba logs: /var/log/log.smbd &
/var/log/log.<machinename> (may not exist)?

testparm will check your smb.conf file and report any errors.  It only
checks that smbd will load the file and not that the settings will work
with your network.

It's always a good idea to check the logs.
