I added code tags on your post of your config. In future please use [code] and [/code] tags when posting code, data or logs etc. to enhance readability and to keep formatting like indention etc., ty.
Here is an example of my working samba on my Debian box. AIX samba will take the same syntax. I am missing a [global] part in your config. Maybe you can get something useful out of my config. The share is not browsable - they have to add a network share whilst writing the path to it etc. also entering that username "junky" and it's pw.
This user "junky" is in the smbpasswd of course and also in the passwd of the box.
Maybe you check your logfile for clues. If it doesn't write one, get the log file definition of my config.

Ok I'm still trying to figure AIX out, I was used to HP-UX until they switched our server to AIX in February and all of the other servers are Linux which appears to be much more friendly. AIX is, well, NOT.
