I just ran into this also, but I think I know the problem (mostly):

When you first try to share a folder, it offers to install SAMBA. You accept, and it installs SAMBA, and also makes you a member of the group "sambashare". However, until you re-login, your not considered really to be a member of the "sambashare" group. So the real issue here is that you have to log out and back in again before you can share a folder. But a related bug is that the user isn't told about this issue, and instead gets a slightly cryptic error message.
