Works fine here. Check your rebuild process.

From the exception trace saying "section homes is already defined" I would guess that your existing /etc/samba/smb.conf has two sections in it that start with [homes] and it doesn't like it and cannot handle it. Manually edit it and remove one of them (or comment it). Back up the existing file first.

That was very true! This was the case and now samba gui is working.
Thanks for clearing that up for me :-) You've saved me hours of time!
