Samba Problems

Maybe I need some sleep or need to be hit in the head but the same
samba config I have used for years is not working on my freshly
installed FC 8 box. The same config was working yesterday when my
linux box was running RHEL 5.

Simply here is my smb.conf:
[global]

        workgroup = EXAMPLE.COM
        server string = billabong
        netbios name = BILLABONG
        interfaces = lo eth0 192.168.15.0/24
        hosts allow = 127. 192.168.15.
        log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
        max log size = 50
        security = user
        passdb backend = smbpaswd
        encrypt passwords = yes
        smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
        domain master = no
        domain logons = no
        local master = no
        os level = 33
        preferred master = no
        wins support = no
        wins proxy = no
        dns proxy = no
        load printers = no
        cups options = raw

[homes]
        comment = Home Directories
        browseable = no
        writable = yes
        valid users = %S

[root]
        comment = Billabong Root
        path = /
        public = no
        browseable = yes
        writable = yes
        printable = no
        valid users = root, someuser
        write list = root, someuser
        force user = root
        create mask = 0660
        directory mode = 0775

When connecting from my desktop (running vista) I can see the root and
homes share, but when I try and drill down into one of the folders it
says network path not found. I have tried using various permutations
of tdbsam and smbpasswd, with encrypt passwords - no/yes to no avail.
Once again let me state that this desktop was accessing the same samba
config under RHEL 5 yesterday w/o problems.

Samba log says:
[2008/01/20 08:59:22, 1] auth/auth_util.c:create_token_from_username(1104)
  lookup_name_smbconf for root failed

Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
