Samba on Gutsy 64bit Errors?

I'm trying to get Samba working on a 64bit Gutsy server install. I
selected Samba to be installed during the install.
After I got into the server, I did a
smbpasswd -a <user>
smbpasswd -e <user>
Leaving the smb.conf file intact, I uncommented the [home] stuff that
I wanted and that works fine.
However when I use my share, it doesn't. The windows client keeps
prompting for a passwd.
[files]
comment = Misc Files and Programs
path = /shares/files
valid users = @users
admin users = @admin
write list = @admin
I made sure my <user> was in the 'users' and 'admin' groups but still
no joy. Yes, I restarted Samba. :)
I find it odd, as this share is the same setup I have on a gentoo box
and it works fine. So I'm a bit confused. I did see that there was
no smbusers in /etc/samba so I made one for my <user> but still no
joy. But porb not needed as its using the tdbsam thing. Not sure.
I'm also seeing this in the logs:
[2007/10/24 05:20:41, 0] auth/auth_util.c:create_builtin_administrators(792)
create_builtin_administrators: Failed to create Administrators
[2007/10/24 05:20:41, 0] auth/auth_util.c:create_builtin_users(758)
create_builtin_users: Failed to create Users
Please advise.
TIA.
