I found the cause it was a duplicated entry of a share in smb.conf. I do not 
know how this happened. I had made some manual alterations to smb.conf and 
subsequently made some further changes using SWAT. During this process I must 
have duplicated an entry but have no record as to how it occured.

Thanks for trying to help
