At first site your smb.conf looks alright. But you haven't mentioned if
you first have joined to domain (smbpasswd -j ...), if not it probably
won't work.

Also for each domain user you will have to make a local unix user or you
can use winbind which will also do that.

I've written a howto of a simular setup, see http://www.sin.khk.be/~dj/

Good luck,
Tim
