Based on the messages that follow, does /var/lib/samba/usershares/public exist -- if so, what are the permissions (and one thing I'm not up to speed on is what AppArmor might do to protect such files, in a fashion similar to SELinux. > In log.smbd there are a lot of lines complaining about files or > directories not existing: > > [2014/05/13 09:09:54.293667, 0] ../lib/util/pidfile.c:153(pidfile_unlink) > Failed to delete pidfile /var/run/samba/smbd.pid.

If logs are complaining about missing files, I wonder -- have you installed /compiled Samba components from different sources, such as samba.org? In any case, I might also create "expected" files and directories with touch and mkdir -- but the "right" way might be to uninstall --all-- Samba-related packages, make sure that all related files are moved, and reinstall Samba client and server packages.
