Are you running selinux on that system?  I can't tell if it's the
problem or not, but you may or may not need to relabel (or whatever that
is) your system.  If not sure or no one chimes in soon, at least boot
with selinux=0 at the kernel prompt and then see if it works with
selinux off.

Other thatn that, only thing I can bring up, is did you add the user(s)
to samba as well?  I believe it's smbpasswd -a user (might need to add
"guest" (as in the actual word guest) as well ), but I could be wrong.
