Good question about why it would ask for credentials before it shows something, but right now the "Everyone" theory is all I have that I could possibly investigate on. I'll clear the Credentials Manager on the VM side and see what behavior it would then exhibit.

Upon trying to enter one of the restricted shares, it then prompts for credentials like intended.
I've called the new share "zOpen-SMB" with a 1MB quota, Everyone Read-Only rights as shown below. Thanks for pointing me into the right direction, Sandshark!
