Seems a problem of  permissions on the directory.... are you sure they 
are right? must be 770 or something similar to permit all the users in 
the group to access to the share...

Depends how you have selected to log into the smb.conf. Example:
If in smb.conf you write
log file = /varlog//log.%m
Samba writes the log for each machine (%m is the name of the machine 
contacts samba, so a file log.machinename is generated for each machine....)
