I seem to be having this issue. Fresh install of 12.04
entbox@boc1:/etc/samba$ uname -a
Linux boc1 3.2.0-29-generic-pae #46-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 27 17:25:43 UTC 2012
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
entbox@boc1:/etc/samba$ testparm -s /etc/samba/smb.conf
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
ktds worked as well. Didn't see it until after I posted mine. 2 years
later and the fix it still working - confirmed-

Title:
'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot convert
This bug has disappeared as mysteriously as it began. I have marked it
'invalid' as sharing is working properly now.
** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete = Invalid

'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot convert name
Everyone to a SID. Invalid
The leading semi-colon makes the whole line a comment. You should remove
them, both for usershare max shares and usershare owner only.
You'll also need to restart the samba server to take the change into
account. Rebooting would also trigger the new configuration.

Could you try to change the permissions and ownership in that directory ?
Ideally it should be: drwxr-xr-x and owned by yourusername:yourusername (not
the sambashare group).

'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot convert name
Everyone to a SID. Invalid parameter.
Also please try adding usershare owner only = no to your smb.conf.

I added the line in the 'Misc' settings. I am appending a sample folder
showing its current permissions. All other folders I try to share fail
with the same message.

@Christopher: you should add that line if it's not present. man
smb.conf should explain the format of that configuration file.
The question still stands, what's the owner and group for this directory
?

This is usually an issue with the permissions on the folder you're trying to
share.
Please attach your /etc/samba/smb.conf
Could you tell us what permissions your shared folder has ?
ls -ld /path/to/shared/folder

I just 'shared' the same folder (Music) on my Lucid desktop computer and
didn't have any problems.

What's the owner and group for this directory ? By default usershares
are restricted to owner only (you cannot share a directory that is owned
by someone else), this is changed by usershare owner only = no in
smb.conf.
