Was this with a Samba4 joining Samba4, or Samba4 joining Windows?

I've been continuing with testing, and in make test, the Samba4 ->
Samba4 case fails quite badly (does not even create the separate
partitions, puts some values in the main partition).

I'll dig into this some more, but having a test case in make test makes
this easier (not easy, but easier).
