Thanks for replying. Can you show me your [homes] share?
My homes share looks as follow:

[global]
        security = domain

[homes]
        comment = Home Directories
        path = %H
        valid users = %S
        read only = no
        browseable = no
        create mode = 0600
        directory mode = 0700
        public = no
        writable = yes
        mangled names = no

I have changed the 'security' to 'domain' (which was 'user'). That did
not help.
