I might have misunderstood the previous conditions under which it
happened, but I still think the error is related to the permissions.
You can see it in finder as your own user, but what about the Apache
user? I'm not sure which user Apache runs on the mac as but it is
quite a distinct and limited user that might not have permissions for
samba.

Best,
Jose
