Samba doesn't bother creating this file at startup, only once it actualy
gets a connection, and so there is nothing for the smbstatus utility to
read.   If it bothers you just touch the file 'touch
/var/lock/samba/STATUS..LCK' as root, and you will have an empty file to
read...  

Hope this explains things a bit better,
