My guess is that it is a case issue somehow. Here are the settings I
use
[netlogon]
default case = lower
preserve case = yes
case sensitive = no
and the file is named 'ntconfig.pol'
A couple of simple things to look for are that the file is world
readable and that the update settings on the client are set correctly.
You may want to try configuring a manual update to
\\<servername>\nertlogon\ntconfig.pol
and see what happens. Some people have reported that the
filename had to NTconfig.POL or NTconfig.pol depending on
their case settings.
When all else fails ( you may want to do this first ), crank up the
debug level on smbd to about 20 and see if the client is actually
looking for the policy. Network Monitor traces will show an "open & X"
for ntconfig.pol during the login if things are set right on the client.

You can grab an archive from July 10 at
ftp:/ftp.eng.auburn.edu/pub/cartegw/samba-1.9.19-prealpha.tar.gz
Hope this helps,
