Peter,
I've tried to create the same error message, got it when I entered a blank
password. Is that what you did?
Another place to check: Did you modify /usr/local/sbin/smbldap_conf.pm to
match your settings?

I know, it sounds trivial, but these are the first things to look at before
attempting any further troubleshooting.
