[Samba] Completely stumped as to why shares are not writable

I have been pulling my hair out for days trying to make the Samba
shares on my Ubuntu server writable.
My shares had been working previously, but I had to re-install Ubuntu
after which I could no longer write to them.
- I am running Samba v4.1.11 and am accessing the shares from a
Macbook with Mavericks.
- All the shares are mounted ext4 partitions, except for my home
directory. The mounted partitions are not writable. My home share is
behaving strangely and is partially writable.
- If I create a new share just using a simple directory, it is writable.
- My system account name & password have been added to Samba.
- All shares, their contents, as well as their mount points, are
recursively owned by both my account and group. I have tried both 775
and 777 for permissions.
- I am entering my user credentials correctly while attempting to
mount the share. I have also tried mounting them within terminal
passing my username:password.
- Listing the shares in terminal on the Macbook shows me as the owner
with rwx privileges.
I do not know if I am interpreting these log entries correctly, but I
think my username might not be getting passed to the server resulting
in a log in as guest:
---
check_ntlm_password: Checking password for unmapped user []\[]@[]
with the new password interface
[2014/10/08 22:48:20.831374, 3]
../source3/auth/auth.c:180(auth_check_ntlm_password)
check_ntlm_password: mapped user is: [MYSERVERNAME]\[]@[]
[2014/10/08 22:48:20.831474, 3]
../source3/auth/auth.c:226(auth_check_ntlm_password)
check_ntlm_password: guest authentication for user [] succeeded

On the other hand, I just noticed that smbstatus shows processes for
my user name originating from my Macbook's ip address. So I am at a
loss as to what the problem is.
This is my smb.conf:
--
[global]
workgroup = MYWORKGROUPNAME
server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)
netbios name = MYSERVERNAME
dns proxy = no
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m

syslog = 0
log level = 0 auth:3
panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
security = user

passdb backend = tdbsam

passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n
