Samba - XP Home in peer-to-peer mode

Hi,

I'm trying to get my FC1 system to share files with an XP Home system in
peer-to-peer mode - I don't want to set up a domain controller, etc. If
I boot my system into W2K, I can share files fine, so basic networking
and setup on the XP system seems OK. I want to get to the point of being
able to use an smbfs mount.
I've been using smbclient to check out the configuration, and I get the
infamous NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED when I try to access a share. smbclient
-L works fine (results below).

So far I've created a Linux account to match the login (which has a
password) on the XP box, and also did a smbpasswd -a USER. I also did a
smbpasswd -a root, although I don't know if it was needed. I enabled
encrypted passwords in smb.conf.

Since I'm using peer-to-peer, I think I don't need the XP signorseal
patch for domain logins. Correct?

Below is the smbclient -L output and smb.conf. Thanks for any help.

# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the

# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too
# many!) most of which are not shown in this example
#
# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)
# is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #
# for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you

# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command
"testparm"

# DNS or NIS depending on the settings of /etc/host.config,
/etc/nsswitch.conf
# and the /etc/resolv.conf file. "host" therefore is system
configuration
# dependant. This parameter is most often of use to prevent DNS lookups
# in order to resolve NetBIOS names to IP Addresses. Use with care!

are NOT
