[Samba] Peculiar Samba permission denied error

[Benjamin Allen]

I tried the below instructions and no luck. Good idea though.

I changed the path to:

path = /home

as a test. I was able to enter the folder with no access denied errors.
Something thinks differently of "/home" then they do of "/srv" or "/share."
Any idea why this could be?

Thank you,

Ben
