I'm trying to use smbtree to view samba shares on my local network. Several of those shares are hosted on my own server, which I am running all these commands on. I know the shares exist because I can connect to them on my Mac using the "Connect to Server" (Cmd + K) command and entering

smb://name_of_my_samba_server

However, when I run smbtree, I can see other samba shares on the network but not my own. When I run smbtree with the -d3 option the only line of output that has anything to do with my own samba share and the the server it resides on is the following:

added interface eth0 ip=my.ip.address bcast=first.three.octets.of.my.ip.255 netmask=255.255.248.0

My smb.conf file is at the end of this post, but I don't think my problem comes from the configuration file because I have access to the smb.conf of someone running one of the servers that does appear when I run smbtree, and when I used that person's smb.conf as my own my samba shares STILL did not appear. I want to use smbtree because I'm trying to programmatically scrape the metadata for the samba shares on my LAN, and I'm trying to use smbtree to display all of the shares on the network.

EDIT: So I am able to see the shares on my server when I run

smbclient -L my_ip_address

but this still doesn't show up using smbtree. Why would the two programs (smbtree and smbclient) differentiate who they can see?
