Thanks, yes I can write to the folders using sudo which makes me think it's a permissions thing rather than the samba settings.
I assume the user is the Linux user, not Windows. So far as I'm aware, I don't have any groups set up, is there a default for this or something (or can it be skipped if I set a user)? Cheers
You're probably mounting it as root, which means all the files and directories are owned by root:root, regular users can't write. (If I'm right, the root user should be able to write to those directories).
You need to specify the owner and group. Either set owner and group to the user you want to allow access to, or create a new group for all users who need access to use.

Alternatively, it could be samba settings:
