[Samba] Peculiar Samba permission denied error

[Benjamin Allen]

Thanks for the lead.

I did a "ls -Z" on the relevant directories and found that SELinux is

I checked to make sure the client and server had the same time settings, and
they're both exact.

Is there anything else this could possibly be?
