Try it without the interfaces directive.  I know Samba will work over PPP.
I have done it here at home.  The main difference is that I also have an
ethernet connection on the same server, and the PPP interface uses an
address in the same subnet as the ethernet network.  A route is just added
to the specific IP when the PPP link goes up.
