This seems to be some long standing bug since "update encrypted" came up:

Samba locks smbpasswd when it runs with "update encryted = yes" and does not find 
the user to be updated in smbpasswd. Make sure you have *all* users in smbpasswd 
and the problem will disappear.

Perhaps someone has a bit of spare time to proove this and report to samba-bugs. I 
feel discouraged to do so because I reported several problems and never got 
something back but the machine generated reply to be patient ...

Hasta la vista,
               Robert
