samba - May 2019 - Moving home directories to another location leads to NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED listing

I have a server and just finished building my raids. One of the partitions is
supposed to house my home folders which I then want to share with my windows
computers. Before I begin migration of all my data I created a user to test if I
can move my home folders from /home/<user>over to the
path /mnt/volume1/homes/<user>. The move worked without problems
through usermod -m -d /mnt/volume1/homes user, just the access to the share
stops working after the move.

I logged in to smbclient with the user and when I enter ls or dir all I get
is NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED LISTING /*. I made sure the user has full control
over the folder with setfacl -R -m u:<user>:rwx
/mnt/volume1/homes/<user> in addition to being owner, for the user himself
as well as the group. When I login to the smbclient accessing the original home
folder in /home/<user> everything works like a charm.

I also tried (https://stackoverflow.com/a/50437580/3176132) but that didn't
work either. I also found a post that suggested to execute sudo chcon -R -t
samba_share_t /mnt/volume1/homes/<user> but that did not work.
 
My question: How do I have to create or move the homes shares to the
position /mnt/volume1/homesand configure Samba so I can access them.
 
Thanks.

Can we see your smb.conf ?

Can you also tell us how you are mounting the volume ?
