Bug Description
I have an NTFS drive mounted on my system with /etc/fstab (successfully). I
browsed to a folder on the drive with Nautilus, right-clicked on the folder,
chose to share it. I was able to set up the share. But when I connected to it
from another computer, I see that the share went to my home directory instead of
the folder I chose. I checked smb.conf and sure enough, it listed my home
directory for the share, not the folder I chose.

I can report the same problem when the path in question contains a space.
