Isn't the snapdir relative to path, ... I.e. we would
see it in /home/TekShare/TekShareSnap -- which isn't where you want it.

I have:
[home]
  acl group control = yes
  map acl inherit = yes
  inherit acls = yes
  follow symlinks = yes
  wide links = yes
  path = /home
  vfs objects = acl_xattr streams_xattr recycle shadow_copy2
  recycle: keeptree = true
  shadow:snapdir = /home/.snapdir
  shadow:basedir = /home
----
Specifically -- I have snapdir listed as an absolute path.
I included other possibly useful and/or related settings ... acls stored 
as xattrs,
streams stored as xattrs, "recycle" unrelated but 'a good thing'...I left
off things I didn't think were related.  It may just be the abs-path...
and the **onlything** in my ".snapdir" are the snapdirs...
(don't know if that makes a difference), but could make
/Techshare/.snapdir and only have symlinks to the snapdirs in it.

Likely you need to honor symlinks, I don't know if wide symlinks apply --
I wouldn't think so.
