Many many thanks to L.P.H. van Belle & Denis Fateyev. I added: 1) follow symlinks = yes 2) wide links = yes to the share configuration and 1) unix extensions = no in the global configuration, restarted the smb service on the Linux host and it worked :-).
Not only was my time saved but I also learnt that I should subscribe to major release changes / announcements. Thank you once again ! Parag Doke Save paper, save trees. Do not print emails/documents unless absolutely necessary.
