Folks, many thanks for the replies on this, much appreciated. I think I 
do have a slightly strange Samba setup, a 'homes' share does not work - 
it does specifically need to be the username. I guess its something in 
how Zentyal (an Ubuntu-based server distro) configures Samba.

Anyway, I finally got this figured. I originally tried:

'share' => $GLOBALS['registry']->getAuth(true)

Which wasn't working for me, so I guessed that getAuth perhaps wasn't 
ready yet when the backends.local.php was run. But as you said it should 
work, I checked again, and it turns out it was returning the full 
username - in my setup, my.name at mydomain.com (required for my IMP-based 
auth) whereas Samba just requires my.name as a login and a share name. 
The weird thing was that:

'hordeauth' => true,

Works just fine for actually authenticating, ie taking just the my.name 
part of the current login - whereas (at least in this context) getAuth 
wasn't. But via the Horde code I discovered I can do

'share' => $GLOBALS['registry']->getAuth('bare'),

Which works as expected.

While I'm here - with the ear of a horde staffer - this is my first time 
to install and use Horde... and it's entirely awesome - already a big 
hit with my users! Zentyal optionally has Zarafa as groupware but it 
uses it's own MTA - I like that Horde works with stock dovecot/sieve etc 
and yet has all the fancy groupware stuff that folk want - and also is 
so hugely configurable. It's a great package and I'll be advocating it; 
many thanks for the work put into it.
