I am attempting to join a new samba server to Active Directory.  The join is successful but I am getting a kerberos_kinit_password failed error message. The following is cut-&-paste of the end section of the screen out from the join attempt.

Using short domain name -- domain
Joined 'EXPRESS' to realm 'mydomain.x.CA'

  return code = 0

I have checked the krb5.conf file and it is the same as I am using with other servers in the domain.

Samba version: 3.5.5

Any suggestions on how to get over this hurdle would be very much appreciated.
