Well, part from the above explanations, could you post your smb.conf,
explain exactly what problem is happening and eventually post level 3
logs (at first attempt....).

Up to now, we're mostly in the dark to understand what your problem
might be.

I seem to understand you're using "valid users" in the [globals]
section. If you do so, don't be surprised to get unexpected
results. "valid users" is a "share" parameters as explained in the
smb.conf manpage (funnily, it seems to work slightly but that may be
mor ea kind of side effect than anything really intended).
