samba ro filesystems bool not effective

This denial is preventing access to a filesystem I have shared via
samba.  Whenever a system connects to the samba share the denial
occurs several times, and the share is empty when viewed from the
client.  My home dir can be shared fine through samba but not
/media/archive (see below).

Filesystem is mounted by:
LABEL=archive	/media/archive	vfat	auto,rw,async,users,group,nosuid,noexec,shortname=lower,fmask=0013,dmask=0002,gid=555
0 0

> ls -alFshnZ
drwxrwxr-x  0 555 system_u:object_r:dosfs_t:s0     archive/

I have already setsebool -P samba_export_all_ro=1 and verified it is
set in system-config-selinux.  It seems not to have any effect here.

I set (true):
samba_export_all_ro, samba_export_all_rw, samba_export_fusefs
I set (false:
samba_enable_home_dirs, use_samba_home_dirs, samba_run_unconfined

With those settings... my home dir is shared and accessible via samba,
but the ro share is not.  What is going on here?

SELinux is preventing the samba daemon from serving r/o local files to remote
clients.

Detailed Description:

SELinux has preventing the samba daemon (smbd) from reading files on the local
system. If you have not exported these file systems, this could signals an
intrusion.

Allowing Access:

If you want to export file systems using samba you need to turn on the
samba_export_all_ro boolean: "setsebool -P samba_export_all_ro=1".

Fix Command:

setsebool -P samba_export_all_ro=1
