We had a similar problem when we migrated to Win 7 back in 2010. At that time, shares from [homes] were viewable, but
unwritable with "valid users = %S" so we switched to "admin users = %S" and all was well.

We only have this on the [homes] shares. And this is also the affected users u*ix home, they can do what ever they want anyway,
so it seemed a reasonable risk.

Thanks!
