On my Ubuntu 8.04 (with russian locale) after I requested sharing the folder and accepted samba installation, I still had the error 255 no permissions for net usershare.
The reason was simple. When editing sambashare usergroup I noticed, that my account is added to group, BUT UNCHECKED. I needed to check it, logout, then login again and all worked ok.
On some reason user account is not activated in sambashare usergroup.
