Ah - that's your error. You added HOLLAND$ as a *user* account, not
a machine account. Remove the account and re-add with

smbpasswd -a -m HOLLAND

You shouldn't need the password when adding a machine account.

You shouldn't have a UNIX password for this account - it
should be set to be disabled.

The [U] in the above shows it's a user account. It should
say [W] for a machine account ('Workstation trust account').

Hope this helps,
