The OP was only carrying out instructions from Jeremy.
What nobody has asked yet is, what OS is he using, from the fact that he 
has an init script that starts smbd & nmbd, I think he is using a debian 
version. If so, it might help if he tried starting smbd & nmbd with 
their individual init scripts.
It might also help if he posted just how he built Samba and his smb.conf
