Question regarding preexec (exec)

[Joel Hammer]

Here are a couple which work fine here.
Yours looks similar. Maybe try something simpler like echo hi >> /tmp/junk
What user does your smb.conf run under? Are the permissions on /tmp/samba.log
777 ?

[Z32]
	exec = echo %U has logged onto Z32 | mutt -s "Log report"  jlh
[junk]
        exec = a=`smbstatus | grep ftp`;[ -n "$a" ] && exit 0
