I have similar problem.
After upgrading Ubuntu from 9.10 to 10.04 sharing commands was not working
properly.
I can't share throw context menu in Nautilus - have same error as is in bag
descrition.
Also I can't share throw command line:
net usershare add NAME PATH USER
I get error:
'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot convert name
"USER" to a SID. The connection was refused.
Maybe smbd is not running.
But i can sharing throw command line without additional parameters:
net usershare add NAME PATH
Samba service and network sharing working properly (exclude adding sharing
throw command and context menu).
Also i can manualy edit smb.conf or create/delete share-config in
/var/lib/samba/usershares - all will be work.
I try UFW enable and disable - this not help. Also i have instaled all
needed package (i think).
Also befor upgrading Ubuntu i have group "sambashares" for
/var/lib/samba/usershares, but after upgrading this group was reset to
root ??? I do not know why.
Linux 2.6.32-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 28 13:27:30 UTC 2010 i686

May be this information will be help.
