Did you set your LANMAN and NT password using the SMBPASSWD utility 
after adding your NT username to it's database?

When you are using encrypted passwords, the password hash presented by a 
client must match the one in SAMBA's local database.

Unfortunately, due to a bug that was missed in testing, the SMBPASSWD 
program appears to only work from the SYSTEM account.
