Your smb.conf is way overboard. I know you've listed the output of
testparm but that is really very inconsiderate. You're wasting the
space on the list and most people just skip such long rants. However,
allow me to cut your smb.conf to the very essentials and fix what
deviates from my working smb.conf:
[global]
