My share folder name with a space was escaped using "\" and I do have another test share with a space in the folder name that works ! So changing the folder name to something new makes it work and if changed back it stops working so somewhere there must be a memory of the old folder name with retained config problems. I bet it's stored in a Samba db or similar however this is beyond my skill set.
