Indeed, it is a typo though I *think* I've figured out what was going on. In my environment, I have a share called WPKG and a user account called wpkg that I use as the WPKG path user. In my Samba setup, \\server\username maps to the home directory of username but in this situation, the home directory for the user wpkg is not the same as the path that the WPKG share points to. I had checked my Samba logs and noticed that Samba was trying to connect to the home directory for wpkg (and not the \\server\wpkg share), which was non-existent. As soon as I pointed to a share not called WPKG that contained wpkg.js or changed the username of the WPKG path user, wpkg started just fine. wpkg also started up when I changed the home directory location of wpkg to the same path of the wpkg share, which is what I've done. I'm not too sure why this behavior didn't show up in XP but I hope this helps someone else out!
