You need to do
smbpasswd -a user0
The unix passwds and samba passwds are stored in different places. This
was a choice on the part of the samba developers.

Do:
chown user0 /vol1
Change the line that says
valid users = %S
to
valid users = user0
You could also just eliminate that line and you won't have to worry about
it.

This is usually a good way to learn.
