From where I'm sitting, there are no dumb ideas (well, maybe typing
while standing on my head - but no one has gone that far)
Didn't work, but I tried it. Thanks for the idea.

I agree with Mikkel about spaces. Some applications are fussier than others -
some want spaces, some don't, but samba uses them by default, so I'd keep
them there.
Just one more suggestion to try. Have you got 'security = user' or 'security
= share' in your global section? Try the other one. If it makes any
difference it would give a pointer to the problem.
