I guess that's because "$(date)" is not Bourne shell syntax.

Either configure:

    wins hook = /bin/bash /usr/local/samba-tng/bin/dns_update

or make the first line of dns_update look like

    #!/bin/bash

(not indented!) or change the line to

    echo "[`date`]" >> logfile

Latter method preferred (Bourne shell syntax).
