If you do smbclient -L gator do you see "group" as shared?
What names are on this network? This looks more like a naming issue than a samba bug...
I've seen this message a couple of times when specifying invalid data to samba (names, shares etc). Closing as user error.
I was getting this error and it turned out to simply be that I was appending an extra "/" (forward-slash) to the share name.
