[Samba] samba shares does not exist or permission denied when connecting

[Sunny]

In the smb.conf I have escaped the path to a samba share in quotes.

path = "/ibe/dusty/RIXILE Share/RIXILE"

all the users needs to do is go to

\\sambaserver\rixilr

but get's the following error message

does not exist or permission denied when connecting to [rixilr] Error 
was Permission denied

Is this correct syntax?
