first you need to set the LINUX permissions - I typically either make
it readable by everyone (and then control access by smb.conf) or I set
it to the correct user a/o group

then you can control who can get into the shares VIA smb.conf

what are your linux permissions on the folder?

NOTE: I am using 2.2.8a - so your mileage may vary
