[Samba] permission denied from winxp box to samba share.

[Jason]

its always the case, I send email to the list and the very next thing I try 
works..

actually, I chowned the destination directory to nobody and that worked..
drwxr-xr-x  2 nobody root 4096 Jul  8 16:44 sambashare

sorry for the stupid question. hopefully it will help someone else.
