[Samba] problems with share permissions

Hi

I had a few test shares  created and they were working fine. Users could 
read or write depending on the windows group that was defined on the 
share. I have since removed the test shares and created the file 
structure needed and setup the smb.conf file with the share names.  I 
have also setup the groups and assigned them to the respective 
directories.  Problem is the users can connect to the share but the get 
"access denied" and can not open the share directory.  I am at a loss as 
to where I went wrong, any help would be great.

small cut of the smb.conf definitions.  but the are all setup the same.

# defined shares for users

[acctcui]

         path = /cui/acct
         comment = Accounting data
         admin users = jlowry 'domain admins'
         valid users = jessica janet lynne
         read list = lynne janet jessica
         write list = lynne janet jessica
         writable = yes
         browsable = yes

[tradecui]

         path = /cui/trade
         comment = Trade Compliance data
         admin users = jlowry 'domain admins'
         valid users = sharon tom janet lynne
