there are some bugs in 2.2.3 that were fixed in subsequent releases
2.2.6 looks to be very good  - maybe worth upgrading (probably won't fix
your problem though)

yes it does
does the other user actually have an account on the domain?
are you sure that the "normal user" is actually logging into the domain?
(ie that user is not in the local password database)

that's the only thing i can think of that might be your problem.

try making this 
log file = /var/log/samba/log.smbd.%m
and show what happens when the machine in question fails to log in.

this share seems to be missing - probably not a problem since you're not
using roaming profiles...

this looks a little suspicious to me...
are you sure that your new user has permission on this share?
