Some observations:

I can reproduce the original error when I use caja to create a share of my Public folder ( /home/tester/Public ).

The error log at /home/tester/Public/log.net is:

"net usershare add: share name /home/tester/public contains invalid characters (any of %<>*?|/\+=;:",)"

There are two things odd about that error message:

I'm not sharing /home/tester/public. I'm sharing /home/tester/Public

There are no invalid characters with that path.

I should note that if I create the usershare manually in a terminal:

~$ net usershare add Public /home/tester/Public "" Everyone:F guest_ok=y

I get no errors and the share is created successfully:

~$ net usershare info --long
[Public]
path=/home/tester/Public
comment=
usershare_acl=Everyone:F,
guest_ok=y
