This is becoming a real hijack, which I didn't intend. However,
All users that are intended to be able to share have a user account on the samba server. All users have samba passwords matching their login passwords, whether in windows or linux. I couldn't even get their home directories to show using 'user' mode.

FWIW, Anne, I don't consider it a hijack at all, as my issues are definitely being addressed here too :)
Thank you for that. If we can all benefit it's definitely worth while.
I am in exactly the same boat as you are indicating. In 'share' mode, all is visible, in 'user' mode I can't seem to authenticate at all.
The infuriating thing is that I used to be able to use 'user' in an older version of samba. I've been using samba for about 5 years, and the problems have just grown during the last couple of years, but this one just will not go away.
