[TriLUG] Adding users to groups

[Jason Tower]

you don't give any details about your samba setup, but my guess is that 
you need to add the new user to the samba passwd file as well using 
'smbpasswd -a username'.  otherwise samba will treat their file 
requests as user 'nobody' or something like that instead of the local 
user.
