"Your password will expire in ? days" even with [UX] in smbpasswd

I'm having a problem with Samba expiring passwords. I set all my users to
have an X flag in smbpassswd but I still get the following message when I
log in:

"Your password will expire in ? days"

(The ? is an actual number, like today it was 13)

Just for reference, I'm running FreeBSD 4.4 with Samba 3.0 Alpha 12.

Here is my smb.conf....

Any ideas?
