End of my answer : About : "I was able to configure shares using system-config-samba - that worked fine (and I think is probably the correct way todo it)."
It's not what is described in the french documentation of the new releases of Ubuntu http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/samba and it's surprising ! Ubuntu wants to be easy. It ask you different things to share a folder and you should do things that it doesn't ask... And system-config-samba looks to write in smb.conf file while ckecking the share tab of the folder properties write in var/lib/samba/usershares. It looks like 2 different ways ?
