[Samba] What in samba 4.1 prevents a '/' share?

[L.P.H. van Belle]

Hai, 

I dont see where this is going wrong. 

The only thing i see whats a bit odd: 

Password for david@//phoinix/config: 
                 ^^^

Can you try the authenticate with this line. 
sudo mount -t cifs //phoinix/config /mnt/phx-cfg -o username="david",sec=ntlmv2

and you can try to change the share to this: 

        read list = david
        write list = david
        valid users = david
        force user = root
        force group = root

if that doesnt work, then im out of options. 
i cant reproduce the error your having. 

and just a small question. 

You did create the user david on that server and did smbpasswd -a and smbpasswd -e ?? 
  -a                   add user 
  -e                   enable user

;-)  just a question.. 


Louis
