Subject: shared directories for Mac clients

I am attempting to set up shared directories for Mac clients that are accessible through the
chooser in addition to each user's default home directory. I have had success in getting the
shared volume "clients" to show up in the chooser in addition to "geoff", but when I try to
connect to it I get the following message:
"The attempted connection to the server's volume has failed. Please contact the server's
administrator."
My AppleVolumes.default file looks like the following:
# This file looks empty when viewed with "vi". In fact, there is one
# '~', so users with no AppleVolumes file in their home directory get
# their home directory by default.
#
# volume format:
# path [name] [casefold=x] [codepage=y] [options=z,l,j] \
# [access=a,@b,c,d] [dbpath=path] [password=p]
#
#
# casefold options:
# tolower -> lowercases names in both directions
# toupper -> uppercases names in both directions
# xlatelower -> client sees lowercase, server sees uppercase
# xlateupper -> client sees uppercase, server sees lowercase
#
# access format:
# user1,@group,user2 -> restricts volume to listed users/groups
#
# miscellaneous options
# prodos -> make compatible with appleII clients.
# crlf -> enable crlf translation for TEXT files.
# noadouble -> don't create .AppleDouble unless a resource
# fork needs to be created.
#
# codepage=filename -> load filename from nls directory.
# dbpath=path -> store the database stuff in the following path.
# password=password -> set a volume password (8 characters max)
#
#

/home/clients access=geoff,@clients "clients"
My groups file looks like the following:

sys::3:root,bin,adm
adm::4:root,adm,daemon
tty::5:
