You haven't set the workgroup in your smb.conf, so are the rest of your machines in the workgroup 'WORKGROUP' ? do your users have the same password as on the machine that they are trying to connect to ? How do you create the users on the samba server ?

 Figured it out. Created a group, changed the group on the share to match. Added users to the group. 
Changed "valid users = @group"

That did the trick. Thanks for your help Rowland.
