probably because smbpasswd is trying to create the entry just using
the sambaAccount objectclass which is AUXILIARY.  we fixed smbd to add the 
object "account" as the STRUCTURAL class in if the entry did not 
previsouly exist.  but I don't remember when we added this fix.  
Up the debug level in smbpasswd to look for details.
