this is what I use for my homes share:

[homes]
        comment = Home Directories
        writeable = Yes
        browseable = No
        hide dot files = yes
        public = no
        valid users = %S
        create mask = 0750
        force create mode = 0750
        directory mask = 0750
        force directory mode = 0750
        csc policy = disable
        nt acl support = no
        veto files = /*.mp3/
        delete veto files = yes
        force group = users

however i think your users aren't authenticating for some reason.  are 
you using ldap, tdbsam, or smbpasswd authentication?
