The OP has just confirmed that he has only altered the smb.conf 
indirectly via the synology interface, yet there are multiple lines in 
his smb .conf *that do not appear in man smb.conf*. I get the feeling 
that synology has heavily patched their version of Samba and who knows 
what they have done?
I suggested that he approached synology for help, it still may be the 
best thing to do, unless Jeremy has access to what synology has done to 
Samba.
