> path=/usr/home/sambashit/Profiles
> public = yes
> only guest = no
> browseable = yes
> writeable = yes
> printable = no
> create mask = 0700
>  force create mode = 0700
> force directory mode = 0700
> directory security mask = 0700
> level2 oplocks = Yes

> OK.  Now, simply mkdir the appropriate directories on your file

 chown Administrator:Domain\ Users /usr/home/sambashit/Profiles
 chmod 770  /usr/home/sambashit/Profiles
