What do the samba logs say in this case?
I assume the respons "0 files" is just an other buggy windows message
and should be an "access denyed": If the programm runs as service,
which user uses it to connect to samba? Is this user allowed to
connect with out a password? If a password is required: Has the
service the password stored some where.
Try what happens if you set up the share with "guest ok = yes", "map
to guest = bad user" and "null passwords = yes" and setup a valid
guest account Read man smb.conf about the serve security impact of
this!! Just do it for a short term test and if it works look for a
better solution!

Not being an expert for NT: "NullSessionShares" looks like "null
passwords" or some thing similar.
