Hobbyist: Samba 2.2.8 auth fails

JYC Samba 2.2.8 (May 2005) on OVMS AXP 7.3-2 (TCPIP 5.4 ECO 5)

My Windows clients are being blocked from reading their Samba shares 
with the message:

	"\\szeged is not accessible.
          The server is not configured for transactions."


The [homes] section of my smb.conf file has this:
[homes]
	comment = User home directories
	read only = No
	strict locking = Yes


I ran the smbclient command on the Samba server itself to view the 
shares available to users and with debug level set to 2 on the command 
line I got an "NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME" error as follows:

$ smbclient "-d" 2 "-l" "log.%S" "-U" tbransco "-L" szeged

The log file, however, suggests problems first appear at the point where 
Samba translates VMS home directories into Unix format (see line with 
vfs_ChDir)

Interestingly, I can use smbclient to browse the same home directory:

$ smbclient \\szeged\tbransco "-U" tbransco%celina77
smb: \> dir
