[Samba] More info on Home Drive mapping problems

I'm running Samba 3.0 on Debain stable (compiled myself) with LDAP as the backend authentication. I've gotten everything working except home drive mapping (which I've gotten to work with limited success). I turned on log level 5 on my samba server, and I found that if I don't enable that path variable in the [homes] section that the server is trying to use /dev/null as the home path. Since this obviously isn't valid, it fails to map the home drive. If I enable the path variable, the user can access his home drive but ONLY his home drive. How do I allow a user to read/write to his home dir and read everyone else's home dir? Can this be done? The home drives are located on another server (or two).

Here's the LDAP entry for sambaHomePath:

sambaHomePath = \\<Samba server>\tester

I've also tried:
sambaHomePath = \\<Samba server>\homes
sambaHomePath = \\<Samba server>\homes\tester

and get the same result.

Here's my smb.conf:

[global] panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d workgroup = <Workgroup Name> server string = Samba Server printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m logon drive = z: netbios name = <Samba Server name> max log size = 50 security = user password server = localhost:389 encrypt passwords = true passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://localhost guest smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd unix password sync = No passwd program = /usr/bin/smbldap-passwd %u passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *ReType*new*password* %n\n username map = /etc/samba/smbusers socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 interfaces = <IP>/<subnet> remote browse sync = <other Samba server> remote announce = <subnet IP> local master = yes os level = 99 preferred master = yes domain logons = yes name resolve order = wins host lmhosts bcast wins server = <wins IP> dns proxy = no case sensitive = yes

   ldap port = 389
   ldap server = <ldap_ip>
   #ldap ssl = start tls
   ldap ssl = no
   ldap passwd sync = yes
   ldap user suffix = "ou=Users"

[homes]
   path =/home/%u
#   comment = Home Directory
#   users = %S
#   public = no
#   guest ok = no
   browseable = no
   writable = yes
   create mask = 0644
   directory mask = 0755

[Profiles]
   path = /home/profiles
   browseable = no
   guest ok = no
   profile acls = yes
   create mode = 0644
   csc policy = disable
   directory mode = 0755
   writeable = yes
