I did the following: sudo setsebool -P samba_export_all_rw on. This should allow read/write to any directory without using samba_share_t.
I get the same behavior. I can mount the drive to a shared directory and read it on the server, but not on the client. I don't get a permissions error. The directory just appears empty on the client.
