The version of samba you have installed has many difficulties joining to 
2008 domains.  The version that fixes this is here:
http://www.samba.org/samba/history/samba-3.0.28a.html

However, the latest version for the 3.0 base is 3.0.36.  Additionally, 
3.0.x is discontinued:

No matter what, you will likely have to install an updated version from 
source.  While you are at it, you may want to look into using at least 
3.2.x.

Good Luck!

I would really like you to be on my side,
but the side you show me isn't what I had in mind.
