I tried it but it doesn't work.
For me it looks like a problem with PAM. Rejecting sound like "ok, you typed in the right password, but you're not allowed to login..."
We've got a second system for failover and the samba configuration-files are 100% identical - but samba-login as root works.
By the way, the smbpasswd file on the failover-system doesn't contain a entry for root, too.
So for me it looks like a problem between samba and PAM or PAM is unable to verify the login.
But more and more I get lack of ideas....

try 'smbpasswd -a root'. Since it said that the user root didn't exist
in the smbpasswd file, try adding it back
