Ah, a Samba setup problem.  Did you remember to populate the Samba
password database for all users? 

# smbpasswd -a username

I'm not really good at Samba troubleshooting, especially at a distance.
You might have some luck with:

ftp://ftp.stratus.com/pub/vos/customers/samba/SAMBA_Troubleshooting.rtf
http://us6.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/Samba24Hc13.pdf
http://hr.uoregon.edu/davidrl/samba.html

The permissions on the shared folder are

> file. 

That would be relevant to browse rights, but according to your account,
you're not able to login, so you didn't reach that issue.
