[Samba] problem with administrator accounts

I have a small domain with a Samba PDB and two Windows clients. My
goal is to have all accounts held centrally on the Linux box, but the
administrator login doesn't work as an administrator.
That is, I can login just fine as 'administrator' (or as any of the
other accounts in the Samba password db), but I don't get
administrative privileges in Windows.
In smb.conf, I have:
admin users = root
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
In smbusers, I have:
root = administrator
The username mapping appears to occur, but 'administrator' (now
'root') does not receive admin privileges in Windows. (This leads to
quite a bind, because I can't login as administrator to take the
computer out of the domain and add a local administrator account.)
Any ideas? Thanks!
