This is not a problem. It means you can only open 2490 files. If for
some reason you need more than that you can run systune and change the
rlimit_nofile_max value to increase this

What host did you execute this command from? Was it in your hosts allow?
If this was from the localhost try adding its IP address to hosts allow
as well - this makes it work for me. I'll take a closer look to see if
this is actually a bug. It appears that there is a bug in swat that will
not allow connections if there are any entries in hosts allow.

Try stopping samba, deleting the shared memory segment and then
restarting samba. Use "ipcs -ma" to see the segments, and 
"ipcrm -m <id>" to delete sambas segment.
