this looks like a standard installation of SuSE.

under /etc/init.d are all system startscripts on SuSE Distributions. So 
change the path of the both daemons smbd and nmbd. At the moment there 
are pathes like

/usr/sbin/smbd
/usr/sbin/nmbd

you should change it into

/usr/local/samba-2.2.8a/bin/smbd
/usr/local/samba-2.2.8a/bin/nmbd

and all other processes in that startscript - winbind is daemon which is 
started, too. I attachted my samba startscript for you.
I changed the PATH variable which has the same effect.

PATH=/usr/local/samba-2.2.8a/sbin:$PATH
export PATH

# The echo return value for success (defined in /etc/rc.config).
return=$rc_done
case "$1" in
     start)
         echo -n "Starting SMB services..."
         nmbd -D
         smbd -D
         winbindd
         echo -e "$return"
         ;;
     stop)
         echo -n "Shutting down SMB services."
         killproc -TERM winbindd
         killproc -TERM nmbd
         killproc -TERM smbd
         sleep 2
         killproc -TERM nmbd
         echo -e "$return"
         ;;
     *)
         echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
         exit 1
esac

# Inform the caller not only verbosely and set an exit status.
test "$return" = "$rc_done" || exit 1
exit 0
