It sounds like you built Samba yourself, if so, why ? Also why use an
old version ?

Why the double '%' ?
It should be just one e.g. 'valid users = %U'
You do not actually need the 'path' parameter in '[homes]', it is set
in '[global]'

Having said that, it has nothing to do with your problem, which is that
you do not want to use netbios.

I said in my last post:

If 'disable netbios = yes' is set in smb.conf, then netbios shouldn't
be used by Samba and you shouldn't be having problems with it.

Try adding 'disable netbios = yes' to your smb.conf , stop nmbd and
stop it from starting again. Restart Samba and see if your problem has
gone away, it should have.
