This is all good

This may not be. Try commenting this line out, then it will allow any host to connect to it.

Same with these. I believe if one of your paths are incorrect, it'll fail. \\%L\Profiles\%U is all relative to the user, so its easy to have these wrong. 

Also, I'd comment out the netlogon and profiles shares below. If you can't get it to work at all, make it as simple as possible and build from there. Once again, if /var/lib/samba/netlogon doesn't exist, or the rights aren't correct, samba will get pissed. Once you get it working with the bare minimum, start adding things, one at a time.
