Debian Samba file server giving Access is Denied to a bunch of users

This file server was working fine in testing, authenticating against Active Directory no problem. Just last night I put out a script to switch users from our old Windows 2000 file server to this samba server and a lot of people are getting "Access is Denied" errors when connecting to the share.

Here is the samba log for one of the machines that get access is denied:

-----------------------------
[2006/11/20 08:32:00, 1] param/params.c😛arameter(383)
params.c😛arameter() - Ignoring badly formed line in configuration

-----------------------------

And then that last error seems to appear every time a connection is attempted. I'm stumped and need help!!

BTW: the same users CAN get to the "homes" share, but not our main file share.
 
Ugh, ok, figured it out. I need to have the x permission set for people to traverse the root directory (I though the r permission was enough).
