OK, so I assume that the dozers can access their home directories yes?
If so, then try allowing all as a test.

i.e.:

read only = no
public = yes

service smb restart

try to connect again, does it work?
If not then you prob is likely down to fs permissions.
can you write to the drive when mounted on linux?

try to touch a file, see if it works. You cannot chmod 2770 /Store as you
need a nixy filesystem, e.g.: ext3. It does not work on dosey filesystems
like NTFS or FAT32

I'd go for ext3 if I was you anyway. AFAIK, you cannot chkdsk fat32 from
linux, can you guys and gals?
