Samba Connecting, cannot transfer files

[Keith Smith]

Hi,

I am running Mint 17 KDE.  I've uploaded Virtualbox and created a vm 
using CentOS 6.6.  On the CentOS 6.6 VM I installed Samba.

I created a user on the VM and created the same user as a Samba user.
I created a directory off root : /work
smb and nmb are both running.
in the /etc/samba/smb.conf I:
1) set the workgroup - I do not think this is necessary since I am 
connection from Linux.
2) commented out all the cups references
3) added the following lines:

   - path = /work
   - writable = yes
   - browseable = yes
   - read only = no

SELinux is disables
IPTables is disabled


I have the exact same config on a laptop running CentOS 6.6 and it works 
fine.  Only difference is the laptop mounts and connects to Samba from 
the fstab.

To connect to the Samba share on the VM I issue the following command 
from my desktop's command line:

sudo mount -t cifs -o user='username' //192.168.20.51/work/ /mnt/centos6 
    (command line on my desktop)

It mounts and I can view the /work directory in Dolphin on the the 
parent (mint 17 KDE desktop).

I cannot upload files though.

To test I : chmod -R 777 /work   which did not help.

I checked the Samba logs and they contain almost nothing - no errors are 
being logged.

I've scoured the internet and am finding no solution.


Tied:

create mask = 0755
create mode = 0660
directory mode = 0770
force create mode = 0660
force directory mode = 0770
force user = keith
force group = keith

which did not make a difference.


Any ideas are much appreciated.

Thanks!!
Keith
