Did you add the "authenticated users" group to the shared folder and give them full access to their shares? If not, try doing that and then log in as a user and try creating a sub folder or saving files and see if you can't.
Ideally, you create the shared folder (ex: \users) and the user folders are created under it (ex: \users\user1 etc). It's the root shared folder (\users) that you want to add the authenticated users group to.
