Ok, thank you.
OK, I'm home now...
Try this: open a terminal by clicking on Applications | Accessories |
Terminal
Check that you are a member of the sambashare group by typing 'id
<your user name>'. You'll get output like this:
uid=1000(simong) gid=1000(simong)
groups=1000(simong),4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),29(audio),46(plugdev),104(fuse),110(netdev),111(lpadmin),119(admin),122(sambashare),123(vboxusers)
If sambashare is in the list, do the following:
Type 'sudo chgrp sambashare /var/lib/samba/usershares'
Enter your password when prompted.
This will let members of the sambashare group (you) write to the
usershares folder, which would appear to resolve the problem that I
googled. You might have to log out and log in again.

Hi, sorry I just got this now. I tried that, and it doesnt seem to work.
Now since entering sudo chgrp sambashare /var/lib/samba/usershares, I no
longer have locks next to each directory, but I now have X's next to
them. Now sure why that should have happened, I did exactly as you said.
I can give the results to the output of id <username> if you want.
