Can browse samba share bot not access files

Hello

On my Server I user samba to access files from an other computer running XBMC. Now I recognized that I am no longer able to access my files on the share. Browsing is possible.
I enabled guest access, because I only need read only access and this simplifies things. It has worked this way until a few days ago with this configuration file:

# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from UNKNOWN (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2013/07/20 22:24:46

[global]
        server string = Andi Samba Server
        map to guest = Bad User
        guest account = andreas
        log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log

[printers]
        comment = All Printers
        path = /var/spool/samba
        printable = Yes
        print ok = Yes
        browseable = No

[Filme]
        path = /srv/samba/Filme
        guest ok = yes

[Musikvideos]
        path = /srv/samba/Musikvideos
        guest ok = Yes

[Musik]
        path = /srv/samba/Musik
        guest ok = Yes

[Serien]
        path = /srv/samba/Serien
        guest ok = Yes

[Videos]
        path = /srv/samba/Videos
        guest ok = Yes

[Downloads]
        path = /srv/samba/Downloads
        guest ok = Yes

Trying to access the files via smb://... in Dolphin from KDE just results in an error message like "smb://andi/... kann nicht gelesen werden." (Can not be read).

Mounting a share with mount -t cifs //andi/... /mnt and trying to access a file results in "cat: ...: Eingabe-/Ausgabefehler" (Input/Output Error)

Access via XBMC gives no error message but this log entry:

The samba logfiles do not contain anything relevant, just two error messages regarding printers. The server has no printers installed so I think this is OK and reading the logfiles those error messages were also present when the shares worked.

Has anyone an Idea how to fix this?
Already tried the fix mentioned here, but did not work.
