samba - Apr 2015 - Problem with creating a windows share on Samba4 AD DC

Hi,
I have Samba4 installed and a windows AD provisioned. From a terminal window I
can see Netlogon and Sysvol shares listed in smbclient.
I want to create another share for windows users. I have followed the steps in
the wiki on how to do this but it does not list in the smbclient.
testparms shows no errors and lists the share.
There is no log file, even though one is specified and a log level of 3.
So with no log file, no errors I am stumped as to how to go about
troubleshooting this.
Can someone please advise?
Thanks
Charlie

OK, what have you installed samba on and how ?

Did you restart samba ?

You should have logfiles, you are possibly looking in the wrong place, 
especially if you compiled samba yourself, try running this in a 
terminal: 'samba -b'

this should list the build environment, amongst which should be where 
the logs are : 'LOGFILEBASE'

If you used "browseable = no" the share won't be visible, although
you will
still be able to connect to it.
Is that the case? Is the display of the share dependent on specific 
permissions? What is on your smb.conf for that share?
