[Samba] Everything but [Homes] works

I am migrating from my "old" 2.2.7 samba server to a newer server
runnig
  3.0.20a and everythig is working except the [homes] share.  The server
(FILE-CABINET) is a member of the domain, security is set to ADS and, as
far as I can tell, kerberos is working. The program wbinfo returns a
list of users and groups like it should.  getent passwd returns first my
local passwd file and then the list of windows users.  nscd is off.

authentication seems to be working:

$ sudo wbinfo -a scarville%<password>
plaintext password authentication failed
error code was NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER (0xc0000064)
error messsage was: No such user
Could not authenticate user scarville%<password> with plaintext password
challenge/response password authentication succeeded

I'm currently testing from a Window 2003 terminal server and, If I use
run->\\file-cabinet I can see all the listed shares and all _except_ the
home directory are accessible.

Usually a few minutes with Google is all I need to solve Samba problem
but not this time.

Is it possible that /export/private/%S doesn't exist?  (i.e. %S isn't
what you're expecting it to be?)

If you set the path to /tmp or something, does that make the share
appear?

I'm just wondering whether %S is of the form "username" or
"DOMAIN\username", and whether case sensitivity is important.  I'm
guessing it is, being in a UNIX path name.

Cheers,
Adam.

[Samba] Everything but [Homes] works

Based on suggestions here and elsewhere I've made some changes.  First 
to [homes]:

[homes]
         comment = Home Directory
         path = /export/private/%U
         hide dot files = yes
         valid users = %S
         write list = %S
         read only = yes
         browseable = No

I also changed the mapping in smbuser:

stephen = TOTALFLOOD/scarville

I can now see and open all the shares which is the good news.  The bad 
news is that my home directory cannot be accessed by scarville -- my 
windows username -- but only by my Unix username stephen.  If I try to 
open it as //file-cabinet/scarville:

2006/05/15 06:44:55, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(798)
   pellucidar (192.168.124.232) couldn't find service scarville

but as //file-cabinet/stephen it works.

So, apparently, a logon script entry like "net use z:
\\file-cabinet\%u"
will not work unless the UNIX and windows usernames are the same.

There are only a few persons in the shop whose UNIX and Windows username 
are different but, unfortunately, one of them is the VP of IT who will 
bitch incessantly about the "inconvenience".  Not entirely unjustified
since it worked under 2.2.

Maybe I should just downgrade...

I even tried creating home directories in /home/TOTALFLOOD but that 
didn't work either.
