I think it is fair to say that the new code to allow W2K (and NT) to create
a machine account from the newly joining client is not quite working yet. I
just rechecked out SAMBA_2_2 and did not see any fixes in the relevant
areas. Jean Francois Micouleau is aware of the problem and working on it
although he is under some pressure elsewhere. 

I suggest that people wanting to test these functions cool it until JFM (or
someone else) announces that the problems have been fixed.
