I have a fairly simple requirement

I am running Debian Unstable on my Desktop and I want to provide a
folder for my Windows 7 laptop to deposit some files.

I thought that the simplest approach would be using samba on its
own, but I then discovered the existance of nautilus-share which
should make it so much easier when I want to swap around things.

I followed instructions in /usr/share/doc/nautilus-share, adding
myself to the sambashare group and right clicking on an appropriate
folder inside my home dir (several layers in) and adding sharing.
Clicking on guests-allow.

Checking the permissions of things

/var/lib/samba/usershares is 1777 and owned by root:sambashare

the file inside /var/lib/samba/usershare that represents my share
has permissions 644 and is owned by alan:alan (ie me).  Its contents
include the path to my share and the following two lines.

Are you sure that all the paths leading up to the shared file have
proper permissions?  If a 644 file is inside a 700 directory, nobody
will be able to get to it.
