Have you verified that the Unix side filesystem isn't actually full?
Unix "df" will show you this. ("df -k" if you want it in K,
"-h" if
you're using GNU df). Is anything on the Unix side acting up? Check
/var/{log,adm}/{messages,syslog}.
Check the samba config. If you're using group perms in your smb.conf,
did you put the new users into the correct groups when you created the
accounts? If you're using system groups (i.e. "valid users
+group_name"), Unix "id" will help here; else, you'll have to
use your
system tools.
Check the Unix filesystem itself. Do users have correct permissions on
whatever path(s) you've set in the shares in smb.conf? Showing us "ls
-ld /path/to/troublesome/share" in conjunction with the smb.conf would
help.

Maybe posting some of your smb.conf would help, perhaps you've over
looked a typo. I do it all the time, more eyes are better. :) If you
don't post it, we have to go through all the above guesswork.
Finally, what else (if anything) on the system has been changed?
Cheers,
