Well, I don't think anything can be done from the perspective of
non-administrator user accounts.
As a non-administrative user, you're not able to add yourself to sambashare, and
hence nautilus-share can't take care of this for you under your own account.
This means the error message is valid, and you do need to ask your system's
administrator to add you to sambashare.
The only usecase that would be valid for fixing in this case would be an
administrative user who happens to not be in the sambashare group -- then
nautilus-share could perhaps invoke a privileged helper through policykit to
help the user add him/herself into the sambashare group.
