I'm not a samba expert, but what you're doing seems clumsy to me.

Why not create a single share something like this:

[privateshare]
   comment =  Private share for local machines
   browseable = yes
   writable = yes
   path = /var/archives/USERS/%I
   public = yes
   hosts deny = 192.168. EXCEPT %I

This allows every host to see just a single folder of its own -- and also
makes for a much simpler smb.conf.
