I know it works fine in the login file as far as a telnet session goes.  It does nothing though when connecting to the share through Windows.  So I tried putting the same line in the samba file, and still nothing.

No, it has to be in the Samba pam file, but there is more to it. You also
have to tell Samba that is has to obey the rules set forth in the pam
files.

I've created a small howto detailing a Samba/Winbind setup as part of a
domain controlled by Windows DC's. It includeds all details on setting up
pam_mkhomedir.
