that's true but not the problem  ;o)
The problem is, my homedirectory is not mounted but the share "root" is
mounted instead. In my case this is the share

[root]
   comment = root directory on linux
   read only = no
   browseable = no
   path = /
   valid users = root eis
   create mode = 0700
   directory mode = 0700

with full access to the hole filesystem (/). That's why I asked, if the
name "root" is not a usable (forbidden, reserved) name for a share? I
think there is always a problem, if an identical username and sharename
exist and using the special section [homes].
