Well, maybe you should also
1)Ensure the directories below /etc/samba/drivers exist (specifically
W32X86) and are writeable
2)Read the extensive documentation on this in the samba-HOWTO-Collection
3)Turn on logging and see if samba is picking up problems
4)Choose a distro which does most of this for you

BTW, your 'readonly' option should be 'read only'. Have you run 'testparm' ?
