Hi All,
	I've resolved my Samba problem by remounting the 2nd drive in to
/home, but can anyone shed a light on as to why '/home/data1/shared' can be
accessed across the network where as '/data1/shared' can't? They are both
pointing to the same drive and thus access rights.

Thanks,

Dom

PS - My thanks to Sean for his help

fstab file:

smb.conf file:
[public1]					***Cannot be accessed
   comment = Public Shared files
   path = /data1
   public = yes
   writable = yes

[public11]					***This works as expected
   comment = Public Shared files
   path = /home/data1/Shared
   public = yes
   writable = yes
