smb.conf with every comment is kind of painful. Next time, execute (as
root), 'testparm -s > /tmp/smb-conf.txt' which removes all of the
comments. Executing this command should also provide clues on obvious
missed configuration options.

Since you haven't set a Netbios name, what do you get from the VM host
when you execute 'smbclient -L $SAMBA_HOSTNAME -U%' ? Does it list the
'intercambio' share?
