My two cents,

Ouch, this parameter uses the ip number of the interface with it's netmask
appended, as:
interfaces = 192.168.0.0/24 10.0.0.0/16
and so on...

It's evident that hosts allow must permit the connection to the remote LAN
segment also (the local is a must-have).

You better fix this and fire "testparm" to double-check your smb.conf.
If it doesn't goes as expected, increase the debug level for your samba
daemon and send the result to the "samba+OpenVPN" debug team! (we do it
all the time, and again and again...)


HTH,

RSalles
