Resolved problem: Had decided to use global force user/force group options for the shares. It worked like a charm. All my shares now had default groups and users. I did not realize how truly global these settings were. After a careful review of the logs, I noticed that root indeed logged in. However, the effective user always morphed into nobody. At that time, I thought this was nominal behavior. NOT!
The global settings for: FORCE USER = unix user FORCE GROUP= unix group Sets the Effective User ID to those forced ID's for EVERYTHING, including non share oriented communications. Check your configs and eliminate these GLOBAL settings. 30 hours!

I found that when it happens to me that quickest and easiest way to resolve the issue is to rebuild the machine I found the problem with XP and 2003 don't know what causes the issue and I think lots of people have the same problem as it is not the first time this has come up on the posts.

There are no warnings or errors in any of the XP logs. Symptoms are the same from multiple installs of XP to multiple installs of samba I have racked my brain for the last week and have even resorted to reading the manual.
