Running samba 3.0.23, I've enabled usershare, and I'm attempting to share one of my directories using the command shown below. Any ideas for work-arounds?

> net usershare add dougssrc /home/dougs/src Everyone:R
net usershare add: cannot stat path /home/dougs/src to ensure this is a directory. Error was Permission denied
> ls -ld /home/dougs/src
drwxrwxr-x 3 dougs dougs 4096 Sep 20 09:37 /home/dougs/src

> rpm -qa | grep samba
samba-swat-3.0.23c-1.fc5
samba-client-3.0.23c-1.fc5
samba-common-3.0.23c-1.fc5
