Sorry, I misinterpreted those log lines. They are from a couple of hours
old. For some reason, I am not getting any logs named after VPN client's
IP now but I am still getting a connection refused on the VPN client if
I try to smbmount the samba share.

A little success. I commented out the following option from smb.conf and
now I can connect to the share from a VPN client:
; interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8 172.16.15.0/24 192.168.5.0/24


However, I can not only use "sudo smbmount ..." command to access the
samba share. The Network browser from Gnome still does not show the
share while a VPN client. The VPN client is a laptop running Ubuntu Karmic.

You may need to have 2 servers to do it (one replicating network map from
master). Read in samba howto:
