Good. So the hs user is "samba-enabled" and can get a list of the shares on red.

Going back to your initial email, you had "mount error(13): Permission
denied", so you now have to check whether the share that you are
trying to access as hs has the correct mode both in smb.conf and at
the filesystem level.
