Okay, now I am truly baffled.

I have replaced the current smb.conf as follows:


[global]
        workgroup = MORTSHIRE
        security = SHARE
        netbios name = annwn
        restrict anonymous = 0
        log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
        max log size = 50
        guest ok = yes

[media]
        path = /media
        writeable = yes
        guest ok = yes

[mediatest]
        path = /mediatest
        writeable = yes
        guest ok = yes


I have deleted the previously created samba users, and created a new samba user
"smbguest" with a blank password. There is also a "smbguest" unix user which
belongs to the "media" group.

I have moved my old /var/media directory to /mediatest (moving it out of /var to
the root directory), and I have created a new, empty directory called /media
(also in the root directory), and I have chown'd both directories to be owned
by root:media, and chmod'd them both 775 recursively:


drwxrwxr-x   2 root     media  4096 Apr  6 13:31 media
drwxrwxr-x   5 root     media  4096 Oct  1  2006 mediatest


I then copied all of the files from /mediatest (the old directory) to /media
(the new directory).

Both directories have the exact same unix owners and permissions (recursively).
Both directories have the exact same samba permissions.
Both directories have the exact same contents.
As far as I can tell, the only difference between these two directories is the
date each was created.
And yet...

What the hell? What am I missing here?
