It looks like that error (invalid argument) is coming up any time the 
username is not found on the system. This of course includes anything 
added onto it - like DOMAIN+name, DOMAIN-name, etc.

Also, the only mention of a separator that I see in smb.conf is in 
relation to winbind, which I'm not using at present (need real users due 
to ownership of files; I'm using add user script instead). Should I in 
fact be using winbind? If so, how does it fit into the picture?
