This is strange... on my research I found a post in which was mentioned 
that shared folders that are located in "/tmp" are working.

Normally I have all my public shares in the folder "/usr/local/share". 
So I moved any folder to another location "/usr/public" and updated the 
samba shares. After I restarted samba anything works like expected. No 
more "'/share/path' does not exist or permission denied when connecting 
to [share name] Error was Keine Berechtigung" errors in my log.

Can someone explain, what the problem with my former share path 
"/usr/local/share" might be? I did not change any permissions.

Christian
