Is your NT configured to use logon script?
it is something to go with the registry (I don't know where to find it
elsewhere in NT)
In 95 it would be in : 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Network\Logon\ProcessLoginScript
(binary key)
it should be set up to 01
your NT will search for a netlogon share and will try to find the file
told by login script option in smb.conf.

The file can be described by macro such as : %u.bat so it uses the name of
the user, %m.bat so it uses the name of the machine (netbios name)
connecting, ...

Of course the file should be such that clients have execution rights
(samba don't overwrite unix rights).

hope this will help
