[Samba] connection from a Windows station problem

[Fábio Soares]

Hi everybody,

I'm having issues with samba. When I try to see my shares from a
Windows 2000 station, I get the following error message:

I've checked the log file, I could see that these errors always have
to do with the /root/tmp folder, whose permissions  I think it is
allright:

[root at printerserver2 /root]#ls -la
...
drwxrw-rw-   2 root     root         4096 Feb  9 16:54 tmp/
..

So, what's the problem? 
Why does this error (  Can't change directory to /root/tmp (Permission
denied)) happen?
I would be so thankful to anyone who could help me on this, I'm really
stuck on this thing :(

here is the log file.
