Brad, I have not been following this thread so forgive me if I'm not
relevant. Certainly in 2.2 pre-release and therefore possibly in 2.0.7
there is a bug in this part of the code where samba calls the add user
script as the user who is connecting as domain admin, not as root.

As this user will almost certainly not have write permission to passwd
files etc it fails.

Test by either adding root to the admin list and tring to do it as root or
maybe have your script create a file somewhere (/tmp ?) where everyone can
write and see who ownes the resulting file. ie 

#!/bin/sh
echo $1 > /tmp/add_user.stuff
