The way you need to debug this is with gdb on the python script:

gdb --args python lib/ldb/tests/python/samr-test.py <hostname>
-Uusername%pass

break libnet_ChangePassword

This will break you into the C code, and you can go from there.  Be
warned however that I've tried

Also confirm first that 'net password change' to the same server works,
and look carefully (ie, in gdb) at the parameters that is passes to
libnet_ChangePassword compared to what you supply.

I hope this helps,
