[Samba] Moving home directories to another location leads to NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED listing

[realShadowhunter at gmx.net]

Hi

By accident I found out what I have to do!!! I am super happy.

I did mention in my first post that I added the corresponding rights to the user. Unfortunately that was on the wrong level. I assigned the rights (in the unix file system with setfacl) to the folder on the level /mnt/volume1/homes/user2. That was the issue. The rights MUST be assigned on the main level /mnt/volume1 RECURSIVELY. I did that by accident just a few minutes ago and it started working. 

I want to thank you a lot for your patience and support. I hope my experience helps someone else. And Rowland I learned a lot in regards to the samba user management from you. Thank you.

That was automatically adjusted after the usermod command I mentioned earlier. To my understanding, once these items are changed and the user logs in he should have full access to the share.
