The downgrade was a first test to see if I could pinpoint it to package versions and provide a quick 'n dirty workaround. It turns out this is true, but also that the 'msdfs proxy' line is the (my) problem, so we could pretty safe say that Feisty's samba just doesn't gracefully ignore the 'misconfiguration' that KDE's gui adds. Edgy's (samba) version either recognises, or gracefully ignores this line... I would suggest everyone who encounters problems with samba sharing in Feisty to check for the msdfs proxy line in all shares and remove it, and then report back here.
I am pretty sure it's a misconfiguration, because in all events it is not a boolean setting, but a path. From the smb.conf manual: msdfs proxy (S) This parameter indicates that the share is a stand-in for another CIFS share whose location is specified by the value of the parameter. When clients attempt to connect to this share, they are redirected to the proxied share using the SMB-Dfs protocol. Only Dfs roots can act as proxy shares. Take a look at themsdfs root and host msdfs options to find out how to set up a Dfs root share.
