Samba Connecting, cannot transfer files

Are you mounting using cifs ?
My share is in CentOS 6.6 and my desktop is Mint 17 kde.
I have a samba server on a LAMP dev box and it mounds just fine using
cifs with the mount command being in the fstab.
I wonder if there is a conflix between the two boxes or if there is
something I am missing.
I spun up a minimul CentOS VM and can ping etc. Turned off SElinux and
IPTables. Installed and configured Samba and the same thing is
happening.
I can connect and brows just not upload files. I can even create
directories.
I set the share to 0777.
Could this be a VM thing?
