Not at all.

[homes] (mind the 's')is designed as a shorcut to share ALL 
home-directories with the network. (Permissions are checked on a 
per-directory/per-file basis anyway)

[homes] is not for sharing single directories.

You would need to add a share like the following:

[ifolathome]
         comment = Saving the world, one protein at a time...
         path = /home/dude/FAH/
         read only = Yes


Is that what you wanted?
