This came at just the right time because I'm struggling with the same issue.
I have a share set up and I can copy files from that group to my hard drive
but not the other way around.  I've set guest account = mgr.samba and have
the share defined exactly as your example but it still gives me Access
denied errors when I try to copy a file to that directory in Windows
Explorer.  I set up a posix folder within the group and that folder works
fine.  Any ideas?
Thanks,
Allen
