directory permissions are the permissions on the actual files and directories on the disk, if it is formatted using the NTFS file system. These are valid regardless if you approach the files on the local computer or over the network. The permissions on the Share define who can approach the files over the network. So: if a user tries to connect to a file on the network, first he has to be allowed by the share permissions. If these allow access, next the NTFS permissions are applied. Common practice is to secure your files using NTFS permissions, and leaving the share permissions on default (Everyone=full control). However, if your disk is formatted using FAT or FAT32, the Share permissions can be very usefull!
