Samba, usershares and process_usershare_file permission issue

So, after configuring the usershares as explained on the wiki, my shares are working as expected.
There is one issue though, I am constantly getting this message in my journal for each of my shares:

smbd[12799]: STATUS=daemon 'smbd' finished starting up and ready to serve connectionsprocess_usershare_file: stat of /var/lib/samba/usershare/<sharename> failed. Permission denied

(yes, that's the formatting, two messages glued together)

Searching on the net, it seems that the issue is with stat() and lstat() requiring execution permissions in the whole path to the file as described here.
Are the instructions on the wiki incomplete, and should I be setting permissions to 1770 and group to sambashare for the whole path?

Or is there another way to get rid off that message?
