Your smb.conf doesn't look anywhere near complete.

The error you are getting is that it is not finding your user account.
Since your smb.conf doesn't tell which backend to use, it defaults to
smbpasswd. I guess "jason " isn't in there.

Your workgroup is still set to SCL, so it may be looking in that domain
for the "jason" account. If you don't want it do this, change the
"workgroup = " line.

I suggest trying SWAT to set up your server. It has a wizard to create a
stand alone server and should flesh out your smb.conf at the same time.
Set up your share using SWAT as well. And read the help information for
security = share. As it says "Note that it can be /very/ confusing in
share-level security as to which UNIX username will eventually be used
in granting access."
