Do you use another samba suite with other pathes?
What i think is, are you sure to call the right binary?
Think about the path of you shell.

On my shell /usr/local/bin is in front of /usr/bin.

If the new one ist in /usr/bin and the old one /usr/local/bin, you got with
"smbstatus" the old one. Fullyqulaified /usr/bin/smbstatus calls the news one.

smbstatus gives you the sambaversion in the first line.

"strings $(which smbstatus)|grep "^/"|less -S"
in a bash shell on linux will show you all compiled-in pathes
