[plug] smb

[Christian Müller]

are you logging in as the same user? most directories' permissions are set 
up in a way the only the owner can use them. Try to change the owner to the 
username that you log in under windows with or change the permissions so 
that everyone has write access (this is bad practice however and should 
only be used to try if it will work then)
