[Samba] smbd could not access share directory on drbd (8.3 on Centos 5 i386)

Dear, all.  I am pulling my hair because I could not find any error
messsages that could point me to a fix to my problem.

The directory I want to share was mounted on /home with drbd and
heartbeat but then my users could not access any shares / their home
directories.  However, if I set up shares else where on my box like
share under /opt or /usr/local, then the same users would be able to
access these directories with out any error.

I ran strace and smbd seemed unable to access/stat the /home and
shares under home.  I looked into the access log of the client machine
and found out that the error was share "does not exist or permission
denied".  I would say that from my investigation of this problem, it
is clear that smbd could not see /home and its share.

Even though I set up my samba server as a standalone and authenticate
all users directly to openldap directory but my users clearly have
been able to access share that are not under /home (that were mounted
on /opt or /usr/local).
