[Samba] Computer can't access Sysvol

[John Cobley]

I did have a "usershares" share when I first set the domain up. This has 
since been removed.  The strange thing is that from my PC (which was the 
first to be added to the domain) and from this PC (which was the second) 
I can still see the share (and access it from my PC).  Seems like there 
is some caching going on somewhere.  Any idea how it can be cleared?
