[Samba] Cant create in a subdirectory...

[Bill Chmura]

I've battled this one for a few days now and its costing my sanity so I am 
hoping that someone here has an answer

I am running the samba server 3.0.4 on a linux 2.4.25 server.  

I can connect to my share point and authenticate fine

I can create files or directories in the root of the sharepoint fine

I can go into subdirectories and look at all the files...

But I cannot create in any directories below the sharepoint!  If I do a touch 
filename I get a Permission Denied.  But I can do it in the root of my 
sharepoint.  I have several like this.

Here is my fstab entry on my client box:
------------------------------------
//modok/wbchmura        /home/wbchmura/mnt/wbchmura     smbfs  
rw,users,owner,noauto,username=wbchmura,password=xxxx,uid=500,gid=500       0 
0
-----------------------------------
And a chunk of my smb.conf file

[wbchmura]
comment = Bill's directory
path = /home/wbchmura
valid users = wbchmura
public = no
writable = yes
read only = no
printable = no

The uid and gif match the wbchmura uid and gid on the file server.  In the 
sharepoint all of the files and directories are set accordingly.

drwxr-xr-x    2 wbchmura wbchmura     4096 Jun 15 01:17 testdir
drwxrwxr-x    2 wbchmura wbchmura     4096 Jun 15 00:10 tmp

If I change the rights on a directory to 777 it works fine.  

Do symlinks affect anyting?  The path to my share is a symlink of
/home -> /raid1/home

I tried coding in /raid1/home and it seemed to not change anything

Here are some log files.
Let me know if I forgot anything...

Thanks
