You're using username "fileserver" to connect the share on Windows?

After giving it some more thought, I still cannot figure out what you 
are trying to do. If you want to give everyone write access to the 
files, why not just set the permissions to a+rwx and forget about all 
this "force user" stuff? I suspect that turning off "guest" access and 
opening it up to anyone who can provide connection privileges will work 
better.
