Does the smb user have write access to the directories you are re-mapping with path subs ?

When you set up an smb share, you generally set it up for a specific user (with a username and password to connect with) or as a guest account which does not need authentication. I have no idea how it works on a Mac but on Ubuntu, I have an smb.conf file in /etc/samba that specifies the shared directories and whether or not they are writeable, browseable and able to be accessed by a guest account or not.

EG

php:
[KidsTV]

    path = /media/sde1/KidsTV

    writeable = yes

    browseable = yes

    guest ok = yes
