[Samba] Samba 3, openldap, follow symlinks doesn't work

Hi all,
I have a samba 3 server, and I want my users from Linux to access
shares on this server (like everybody:) ) .
I have these directories :
user1_dir for user1
user2_dir for user2
share for all
On the server, I have this directory structure :
/home/users/user1_dir
/home/users/user2_dir
/home/data/share
I have a symbolic link in user1_dir and in user2_dir pointing to
/home/data/share ( ln -s /home/data/share /home/users/user1_dir/share)
I want them to only mount their own directory to access their files and
the share directory.
Here is a part of smb.conf :
[homes]
comment = [%h] Home of %u
path = /home/users/%u
browseable = no
writable = yes
valid users = %S
follow symlinks = yes #should be ok without but it is to be sure
wide links = yes #should be ok without but it is to be sure
[share]
comment = [%h] Share
path = /home/data/share
create mask = 0075
directory mask = 0075
guest ok = yes
When I smbmount user1_dir, I saw a broken link to "share". How can I
make it work ? From the local Linux, it tries to access /home/data/share
on the local HD (which doesn't exist).
If I mount it with konqueror (new link : smb://samba_server/user1_dir ),
I enter my login/password and it works. I can go into share and copy
files. It is also working from a windows box.
My users and groups are stored on a ldap server, the authentication is
working well. I use pam_ldap and nss_ldap. I dont't know if it is
important for this config.
I don't know where is the problem because the only thing not working is
smbmount. Any idea ?
Thanks
