You need to disable "RequiresSignorSeal" in the registry. If you check the
Samba source tarball, ~samba/docs/Registry/WinXP_SignOrSeal.reg is the
file you need to double-click on in XP to turn off this feature. The other
way is to use the Security editor to turn this off.

Following a reboot all should work.
