You seem to be telling Samba to create the recycle bin in '/', which
if your machine is like mine, has permissions like these:

drwxr-xr-x 30 root root 4096 Feb 27 12:49 /

And as you can see, only the root user can write to '/'

So, to answer your question, yes, you will need to create '/.recycle'
and change the permissions so that your users can create their recycle
dir, probably by the group permissions.
