Looks like the Samba server is using a different smb.conf file. Check it
with testparm to see what it thinks is the configuration. It also takes the
browse list a few minutes to get updated. Restart Samba to get it to reload
the configuration right away. You may also want to make Samba win the
election as local and master browser. Add "os level = 65" to the smb.conf
file, then restart Samba.
