I believe you need to put the value of path in quotes when using spaces.  
However, you will have fewer problems if you don't use spaces.

Read up on the following variables in the smb.conf man page (man smb.conf) 
if you haven't already:

guest account
guest ok
guest only
public

Also, check the permissions on the directory you are trying to share.  If 
the perms are 0770 and ownership of the directory isn't the same as the 
user listed for 'guest account', then it will cause problems.
