If I'm not mistaken this only affects non-Administrator user accounts. It is happening on my fresh installation of 13.10.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Create a new unprivileged user using the User Accounts control panel
2) Login with this new user account
3) Try to share a folder with Nautilus

Expected results:

- The share is created

Actual results:

- Sharing fails with error:

'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error Permission denied
You do not have permission to create a usershare. Ask your administrator to grant you permissions to create a share.
