have you configured smbpasswd's for your windows users?   I  don't see a 
security method there, I'll assume the default is USER, which 
corresponds to how Windows NT/2K/XP work.  Also, both of your shares, 
[homes] and [tmp] are browseable=no which means they won't show up in 
browser queries.

I recommend walking through the 'getting started' documentation on the 
Samba site.
