[Samba] Need a little help with Samba 3.5.5 on FreeNAS 7.2.5543

[Steve B]

Good afternoon all. I have an odd problem that has me stumped and I'm hoping
someone here may be able to help. Recently I switched from a Gentoo Linux
based OS to FreeNAS. The version of Samba running on FreeNAS is 3.5.5 (and
was the same under Linux). I mainly use my FreeNAS/Samba box to share MP3
files to an Audiotron. One of the files is the Turtle Beach radio file,
radio_tr.txt. When I was using Linux the Audiotron had no trouble reading
and providing it the list of my favorite Internet radio stations. However
under FreeNAS it is not read correctly. I think the Audiotron can see the
file since it reports "no stations found" as though the file were empty. All
the MP3 files in the same directory are recognized and playable. All of the
files in the directory have permissions of 777. Listed below is the results
of "ls turtle_tr.txt -alh" and the contents of my smb.conf file. If someone
here could shed some light on why the file is not getting read that would be
greatly appreaciated. If there is a fellow Audiotron owner on the list with
a similar setup I would be eager to hear if you have Turtle Radio working
and if so, how.
