That's nice.  Duz it have a version number?  Did you use any experimental
parts and pieces like the NT PDC emulator?

I can think of a few things that might be wrong.  However, methinks by
running the 10ea tests in:
  http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/DIAGNOSIS.html
will yield faster results than my guesswork.  Without a look at your
smb.conf file, I don't think I can even make a decent guess.  Check the
"browseable" parameter as in:
  http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/smb.conf.5.html#browseable
