samba - May 2006 - new directory to share gives error code -43

Hi
I'm running samba on a unix box to share out our unix file system  
across windows and mac boxes and it works just fine. However, I  
wanted to add another directory to share so I added it to the  
smb.conf file by copying previous entries and making the appropriate  
directory path changes. Now when I connect to server from my Mac box  
the directory appears in my list of options but after I've  
authenticated I get the error message
The operation cannot be completed because one or more required items  
cannot be found (error code -43)

What have I forgotten to do ?

Thanks
Anna :)

My guess is you may have forgotten to create the dir....


You could try this little script to check if you have created all the 
paths
=========================================================
#!/bin/bash

for p in $(grep path /etc/samba/smb.conf | cut -d= -f2 | cut -d" " -f2
| grep -v \%)
do  if [ -d $p ]; then
echo "GOOD! $p EXISTS! YAY!"
else
echo "$p doesn't exist... YOU WILL HAVE TO CREATE IT."
fi
done

==========================================================
Bye, Veronica.
