[Samba] Shared directory contained within another shared directory

[Santiago Diez]

In my case, the idea was that one departement already had a folder that they
were used to and that they wanted to share with the rest.
So instead of moving all the files, it looked simplier to just take this
very folder (it was a little deeper) and share it somewhere else.
