Has been working fine forever... From 7.04 to 9.04
Only changes I did to /etc/samba/smb.conf are :

workgroup = MYWORKGROUP

Make sure your diretory has


[share]
    comment = Some comment on your directory
    path = /your/directory/path
    browseable = yes
    public = no
    writable = yes
    locking = yes


Browseable is important... :)
