You could add ';	available = no' to the share in smb.conf, then
write a script to remove the ';' and run 'smbcontrol smbd reload-config'
You would also need another script to put the ';' back and run
'smbcontrol smbd reload-config' again.
Then get cron to run the first script at 8pm and the second at 8am
