Have you checked your pam.d files under samba. I can get samba to work
without root in the /etc/smbpasswd.

Then the answer is probably to add root to your smbpasswd file, but make
sure you use a different password than the real one.
I actually duplicated the root option in /etc/passwd, made it have no valid
shell or home dir, and called it Administrator. this I then chose a very
obscure random letters password and added the user to smbpasswd with one of
our administrative passwords. This has the advantage of the NT guys
knowing the password to add machines to the domain and should be possible
to use for swat as well.
