I think I've seen this happen when the smbpasswd file doesn't correctly 
match
the /etc/passwd database.  Aparently, when the client is trying to 
resolve the
names for a resource (such as a file or directory) if it can't match the 
UNIX
uid/gid to something in the smbpasswd file, it will create those names.
