Make sure that the private/<DOMAIN>.<MACHINENAME>.mac file exists on the
samba domain client.  When I just recently set this up, the file was
created but called MACHINE.SID.  rename this file to
<DOMAIN>.<MACHINENAME>.mac and mae sure that you have added the machine
account for the samba client on the PDC ( Samba or NT ).

Let me know if this helps.  I forgot to mention it to Jeremy recently.
