I don't because I am subscribed there - it is hosted on
eternal-september.org. The group is comp.sys.raspberry-pi
It could be also another one somewhere else. I do not guarantee this is the
only one.

What happens if you unmount, unplug and plug again + restart samba

I saw, but you never shared parts from the log file, hence we are looking in
the crystal ball here.
I mentioned I do not know about the guest permissions. I just remember that
there was something regarding mapping unknown users to nobody etc. Who
knows how it works in raspberry - they customize a lot there.
Respectively when I use the Samba as domain controller here it works
perfectly well including directories, printers and permissions.
Unfortunately I can't help with the guest OK. If you share relevant
portions from the log, somebody could come up with something more useful.
