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.

Code:

[global]
        log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
        smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
        load printers = no
        socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
        interfaces =
        hosts allow =   somehost1 somehost2 somehost3 \
                        somehost4 somehost5
        encrypt passwords = true
        case sensitive = yes
        dns proxy = no
        server string = Samba Server
        local master = no
        workgroup = whatever
        os level = 20
        security = user
        preferred master = no
        max log size = 10000
        bind interfaces only = yes

[data]
   comment = Debian Box Service
   path = /data
   valid users = junky
   public = no
   writable = yes
   printable = no

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.
