The problem is the Samba CVS version. There should be a BIG blinking
sign around it : "THIS IS PDC TREE, NO GOOD FILESERVER".
Serious : There were some fixes in the 2.0.x branch, that were not
portet to the 2.1.x.

The best sollution for this is to use 2.1.x ONLY for PDC, not as
fileserver.
You don't even need 2 Machines for this, just use some second (aliased)
Interface.
