1)
Create a new user, ie smbguest, with uid and gid > 0, and then use
guest account = smbguest
in smb.conf (default is nobody which has negative uid on your system)

if this does not help

2)
Look at include/config.h that samba's configure creates and see that the
sys calls samba decides to use to switch uid/gid are appropriate for
your system.

3)
http://samba.org/cgi-bin/samba-patches/accepted?id=4;user=guest
But this should be already in 2.0.7 I think.
