Can I point out a few things ;-)

1) if you are going to sanitise things, sanitise them everywhere.

2) you are using 'guest ok = yes' in all your shares, but it will not 
work because you have 'guest ok = yes' in [global] instead of 'map to 
guest = bad user'

3) does your 'guest user' exist on the server

4) You don't actually need a password to run smbclient in the way you 
are doing, 'smbclient -L gnabregib -N' will get you the same info. If it 
doesn't, you have a dns problem.
