Hello!
Just some small hints:

Can you change your both passwords in sync with smbpasswd form unix?

Are you using PAM. PAM can have very strict rules about neu (unix)
passwords. E.g. Changeing between to passwords as a test doesn't
work. And you don't get the PAM-Massages through samba. Try really
different, really good passswords.

You need debug level = 100 to take this effekt. You should see your
passwd chat in the logs then.
> passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
> passwd chat = *New*password:* %n\n *Re-enter*new*password:* %n\n
Isn't here missing something, that reflects the sucessfull change?
I use: passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *new*password* %n\n
*updated\ssuccessfully*
Hope this helps a bit
