Please double-check what version of samba your running.
It seems that you are running some old version of Samba.
smbpasswd -? gives here :

mbpasswd [options] [username] [password]
options:
  -s                   use stdin for password prompt
  -D LEVEL             debug level
  -U USER              remote username
  -r MACHINE           remote machine
  -R ORDER             name resolve order
  -j DOMAIN            join domain name
  -a                   add user
  -d                   disable user
  -e                   enable user
  -n                   set no password
  -m                   machine trust account
