It sounds like the "guest account" validation is not working.  Some functions
effectively will not work with some clients with out the guest account
configured and the smb.conf set to map bad users to guest.

The last time I chased down this issue, the guest account needed write access
to it's own directory and to the TMP: directory which SAMBA 2.2.8 assigns
to SAMBA_ROOT:[TMP].  Older SAMBAs have used SAMBA_ROOT:[VAR].
