I encountered a similar problem with Samba 2.2.0, and it turned out to
be an issue with PAM settings (it was a long time ago, so I can't
remember how I worked around it).  But you could probably try upgrading
your samba to either 2.2.1 or 2.2.2 (the latter is my recommendation) to
see if the problem is still there.
