Hi Jules
This may be way off, but i know how frustrating it can be not getting any 
suggestions! I have a samba server with a guest share, the only difference i 
can see is that i have guest only = yes.
Here is one of the read only shares (sanitised):

[guests]
        path = /guest/share
        guest only = Yes
        guest ok = Yes

This works fine from XPSP2 and SP1 clients, the server is security = domain 
though, so this may make a difference, although non-domain machines/users 
connect with no problems to the guest shares.

Hope this helps!
