Public Samba Share Configuration - not writeable?

Question

I'm new to setting up Samba shares, and I think I'm an inch away from getting it to work. The configuration file that I'm using is below. When I connect to the share, I can read the files fine and copy them to my local machine, but when I try to write to the share (using OSX) I am asked for a user name & password even though I have set it up as a public share with guest access.

Am I missing a setting? Your help is appreciated!

killall smbd killall nmbd sleep 2

mkdir -p /tmp/etc/samba echo "

[global]

netbios name = DD-WRT
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = DD-WRT
syslog = 10

security = share
guest account = nobody
invalid users = root, mail, deamon, reboot

guest only = yes    
map to guest = Bad User

Try something like

;guest only = yes
valid users = @unknown, @guest
guest ok = yes

So, instruct samba to use OS X's native user database.
