permissions on samba share

[Todd Brunhoff]

I'm hoping one of you has an answer.

After reinstalling fedora 16 from scratch, I cannot get samba to work 
correctly. I can log in successfully with smbclient and I can map a 
network drive, but then I cannot get access to my login directory. I 
believe I have narrowed this down to some permission oddity. In 
particular, if I create a share for /tmp...

     [global]
             security = user
             domain master = no
             local master = no
             dns proxy = no
             guest ok = yes
             guest account = smbguest

     [tmp]
             path = /tmp
             read only = no
     ;       browseable = yes
             valid users = build, tbrunhoff, toddb

I can add the share and get in with both windows and smbclient and list 
the directory, which of course is mode 777. However, if I create a share 
for my login directory...

     [toddb]
             path = /home/toddb
             read only = no
     ;       browseable = yes
             valid users = tbrunhoff, toddb

I can map the network drive in windows and login with 'smbclient 
//denzy/toddb' but neither access method will allow me to see the files. 
I have even tried changing the mode of the directory from 700 to 770 and 
then to 777 and still cannot get access. After turning on

             debug uid = yes
             log level = 3

and loggin in with 'smbclient //denzy/toddb' and then typing 'ls' the 
log shows the following:

And indeed, my uid/gid is 531/501. This makes no sense.

Somebody say something helpful.... please.
