Jerome:
     I was never able to get "security = user" to work, so, along the way,
you should occasionally switch that back to "security = share" to see if you
can get connected.  After that, you can work on getting "security = user" to
work as a separate task.  The difference is that you should get a prompt for
a user id and password with "security = share" (based on SAMS Teach Yourself
Samba in 24 hours).
     One thing I notice is that you are using --

username map = /etc/samba/smbusers, which contains, on my machine --

root = administrator admin
;nobody = guest pcguest smbguest
Linux: /etc/samba

I'm using

username map = /etc/samba/user.map, which has one line in it --

nobody=*

I'm guessing that that line says "map any user that comes in to nobody".
