Hi Andy, 

Thanks, here is the output for my Home folder which contains all of the
folders for which I was trying to change the sharing permissions.

robin at robin-laptop:~$ ls -ld . .. ../..
robin at robin-laptop:~/Documents$ ls -ld . .. ../..
drwxrwxrwx 53 robin sambamachines 4096 2010-04-20 02:11 .
drwxrwxrwx 94 robin sambashare    4096 2010-04-24 09:29 ..
drwxr-xr-x  8 root  root          4096 2010-03-16 17:13 ../..


I also then did one for the Documents folder: -

robin at robin-laptop:~$ ls -ld . .. ../..
robin at robin-laptop:~/Documents$ ls -ld . .. ../..
drwxrwxrwx 53 robin sambamachines 4096 2010-04-20 02:11 .
drwxrwxrwx 94 robin sambashare    4096 2010-04-24 09:29 ..
drwxr-xr-x  8 root  root          4096 2010-03-16 17:13 ../..
