SWAT is your friend.  Install the SWAT package and then browse in
Firefox (or whatever) to http://localhost:901.  Complete web interface
for samba.  You can configure both global and share specific settings
with it.  Once you've got a working share you can then have a quick peek
at the smb.conf file to see what it did.  Samba configuration (I've done
it a few times but am by no means Samba fluent) is pretty
straightforward but can be frustratingly devoid of error messages.
However SWAT will help get a working service going and you can then work
from that.

Cheers
