Yep, you need to have the machine accounts in either of your passdb backends.
(You can use more than one of them, for example: 
passdb backend = plugin:/path/to/pdb_mysql.so:identifier smbpasswd
new accounts are added to the first backend)

Next to that, the machine accounts need a standard unix account. But 
those can come from nss_mysql.

I don't have that email here right now, so I can't tell whether your 
columns were correct, but the account attributes are stored in the acct_ctrl 
and acct_desc field.
