[Samba] Samba Shares With only Partial Access

I have a 2Win2k, 1Linux (server) LAN; the server is running FC3 and
Samba 3.0.14a. I am unable to get both users access to their individual
shares. Essentially, I'm working through the Accounting Office example
(pgs 31-35) of John Terpstra's 2004 Samba-3 By Example, and I'm doing
something foolish and wrong on a basic level. I can get access to, and
manipulate the files in, my share (ehines), but neither I, nor the other
user, can get access to the other share (ahines). That I cannot access
the other share is correct by the example, but the other user just gets
an Access Denied error when trying to access her share (the ahines share).
From the Linux box, she can access her share directly (cd and ls both
work), but from her Win2k box, she gets the above error. From my Win2k
box, I see "archive" (the parent directory of the shared directory, and
the parent share of the "files" share) and "files" (the subordinate
share) inside lserver1 (lserver1 is the Linux box), and "archive on
lserver1" up above directly inside My Network Places. From her Win2k
box, she sees only lserver1 in MNP, she can see down into her ahines
share, but she cannot access that. If this isn't clear, the directory
structure of the shares is /archive/ehines and /archive/ahines). Logins
and pass words inside smbpasswd match those on our respective Win2k boxes.
Further, when either of us tries to access the share "files," we just
get an incorrect login error and a dialog box inviting us to enter our
login and password again.
Any help would be very much appreciated. My smb.conf follows, and I
apologize for the long-ish post.
