Look at the times: ps reports nmbd has been started at 10:16:15, the 
logfile reports 10:16:54.

I bet you are in the following situation: Your inetd.conf contains 
entries for nmbd and smbd. Someone/something in the net triggered port 
137, so inetd started nmbd. A little later nmbd was started from 
/etc/init.d/samba, (possibly rotated nmbd.log) and what you are seeing  
now in the logfile is a standard behaviour when starting nmbd twice. 

Check inetd.conf for nmbd/smbd entries and delete them.

Regards,
        Robert
