As far as I can tell I have set up all permissions and users appropriately with read/write and such. I am able to access the server and view the various shared folders but I am unable to actually get into any of them. What is strange is all the places where you see the failed connection to /home/master I am actually trying to connect to the /nas share called SWORD.

This is the first time I have tried setting up a Linux server on my box, let alone a Samba config. And hints/tips are more than welcome. If there is any additional information you need I will do my best to provide it.

I had something similar happen to me a while ago, have you tried this:

http://www.builderau.com.au/blogs/codemonkeybusiness/viewblogpost.htm?p=339270746

granted the website says that its for vista and samba but I performed this same thing on my windows 7 laptop and it worked perfectly

Yes I have tried that. I also have done the registry edit that is also supposed to help.

I have narrowed it down to a single problem:

Samba posted:
[2010/02/03 11:06:06, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(1042)
desktop (192.168.1.146) connect to service SWORD initially as user master (uid=500, gid=500) (pid 22614)

inotify_add_watch returned Permission denied

Tried some more changes and things. I know have the log down to the following:

[2010/02/08 11:34:17, 1] smbd/notify_inotify.c:inotify_watch(412)
inotify_add_watch returned Permission denied

which I know is pretty much the same, but it is slightly different. I added a new account onto the server that matches my Windows account. I also enabled NetBIOS for my LAN connection but that didn't change anything.
