Just looking for clues ...

Well, you can search for this message in the Samba sources. You will
find it in nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c. The comment above says "Function
called when a query for a WORKGROUP<1b> name fails." In the book
"Using Samba" you will find the following text "By Microsoft design,
however, the domain master browser and the primary domain controller
(PDC) both register a resource type of <1B>, so the roles - and the
machines - are inseparable."
You told me you have a PDC named CHANDLER in workgroup SUNTREEAZ.COM.
This one definitely must be "SUNTREEAZ.COM<1B>". If nmbd doesn't find
"SUNTREEAZ.COM<1B>" you don't have no PDC in a workgroup
"SUNTREEAZ.COM". It's just that simple.
What does 'nmblookup -S SUNTREEAZ.COM#1B' return?
What does 'smbclient -L CHANDLER -U%' return?
Can you post your nmbd log file?

No, it is looking for the Domain Master Browser of a workgroup named
SUNTREEAZ.COM.
