Missing some permissions on *NIX side I guess. Try

# chmod 0777 /home/public
# chmod 0666 /home/public/*

and add the lines

create mode = 0666
directory mode = 0777

to your [public] section in smb.conf
This should give r/w permission to *all* users and create new files/dirs
with
the appropriate permissions.

Good luck,
Thomas
