The [homes] entry is not a share, it is a meta-service. Meta-services
should be set to "browseable = no"

If your users are correctly configured and user 'joedoh' does the
following:

	smbclient -L 'mysambaserver' -Ujoedoh%secretpw

Then joedoh's home directory should be listed in the "Sharename" table.
