example from a working smb.conf (linux-only network, but works with
windows-clients too)

[data]
   comment = Private Folders
   path = /home/data/
   create mode = 770
   public = yes
   writable = yes
   printable = no


and of course you can take a look at the several logfiles
in /var/log/samba/ on your samba-server for more details
(temp. increasing the loglevel for debugging is also an idea)
