samba - Apr 2007 - test share works, but homes returns with "network name cannot be found

Just built a new server based on CentOS 5.0 which included Samba 
3.0232.  I also added Webmin as the server is in the closet without a 
monitor currently.

When I went thorugh the generla tutorial with Webmin Samba worked, but 
showed all root directories, except for /home.  That was not as expected 
and certainly not very helpful.

So, I went back and tried again baseed on what I had used in the past on 
the old server. 

I have set up the test share directory and can connect to it without 
problem from either my desktop Win2000 system or my MacBook Pro.  I 
don't have a printer on this server, having switched over to a jetdirect 
card, but I do see the "Printers" icon in the list at least on the
Windows.

My home directory is another matter - I can see it and it has the proper 
comment attached, but any attempt to connect from Win2000 results in a 
popup window.  I get rejected from the Mac too, but of course don't get 
the Windows popup window. 

As the Windows popup window actually says something, here it is - top 
line is the banner
--------------
\\Trailrunner
\\Trailrunner\dan is not accessable.
The network name cannot be found.
---------------
Googeling on this has lead me to various old postings but nothing 
directly on point, and the bid difference I seem to have is that I can 
indeed get to the test share, copy in files etc... without problem.

What follows are the core entries of my smb.conf file, the notations 
from the log file and the results of what seem to be key tests.

Truly hope someone can help me get this sorted out.
