Some of us have found that SELinux prevents Samba from working properly. In 
one case published earlier turning off SELinux features completely fixed 
the issue. In my case I went into Desktop/System Settings/Security Level 
SELinux Tab and turned off SELinux features for Samba. After that my shares 
re-appeared and seem to be working normally.
