[Samba] Strange issue after upgrade

Last weekend I upgraded my RedHat Enterprise server from Samba 3.0.2 to
3.0.4 and now my Mac clients are not seeing one of my shares. Normally a Mac
client can select Go->Connect to Server in the finder, connect to the server
and then they will get a list of 2 shares. Now one of these shares is not
showing up (The Company_Share) but the client can still connect to the share
if they add the share to the end of the server address field.

In other words instead of selecting Go->Connect to Server connecting to
smb://server.domain.net then selecting one of the shares from the drop down
list the user now has to connect to smb://server.domain.net/Comany_Share
(Typing in Company_Share manually). Does anyone know why this happened?

Here is my config:

[global]
log level = 0
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
realm = domain.net
workgroup = DOMAIN
security = ADS
encrypt passwords = yes
password server = dc0.domain.net dc1.domain.net
server string = AMI File Server
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_KEEPALIVE
kernel oplocks = yes
oplocks = yes
veto oplock files =

# separate domain and username with +, like DOMAIN+username

# use uids from 11000 to 19000 for domain users
idmap uid = 11000-19000
# use gids from 11000 to 19000 for domain groups
idmap gid = 11000-19000
# allow enumeration of winbind users and groups
winbind enum users = yes
winbind enum groups = yes
# give winbind users a real shell (only needed if they have telnet access)
template homedir = /mnt/share/Company_Share/Users/%U
template shell = /bin/bash

[Company_Share]
   comment = Company Corporate
   path = /mnt/share/Company_Share
   create mask = 0770
   directory mask = 0770
