Validate the path to the location of the recycle.so file from your smbd binary 
as shown here:

	smbd -b | grep LIBDIR

The output should be: LIBDIR: /usr/lib/samba

Then locate the recycle.so file in the directory /usr/lib/samba/vfs/
i.e., in a subdirectory of the LIBDIR called 'vfs'

The following modifications should make it work:

vfs object = recycle:recycle
recycle:repository = .deleted
recycle:keeptree = Yes
recycle:touch = Yes
recycle:versions = No

Let me know if you still have a problem.
