this is usually because of a crashed smbd process earlier.

please remember that 2.0.0 tree is not supporting nt PDC stuff fully, so
if there are bugs in 2.0.0 rpc code, i'm not so concerned (it's at least 3
months out of date).

let me fix the latest cvs code and you can try it again.  watch for the
jeremy-merge in a few weeks, too.
