Note: I never added user 'nobody'

It would seem that you do need the user 'nobody' but it also seems that 
samba adds it automatically, what I do find strange is that on your 
machine 'nobody' has the uidNumber of 99, whether this makes any 
difference, I do not know.

I can only add that this setup works for me.
