[Samba] smbpasswd not attempting to use LDAP

I've only got LDAP configured as a passdb type in my smb.conf, but 
samba appears to be completely ignoring that and creating an 
/etc/samba/smbpass file (full output of that at the bottom)

my smb.conf has:

ldap admin dn = "cn=Admin,dc=byramhealthcare,dc=com"
ldap ssl = off
passdb backend ldapsam:ldap://ldapmaster.byramhealthcare.com
ldap delete dn = no
ldap user suffix = ou=People,dc=byramhealthcare,dc=com
ldap machine suffix = ou=Systems,dc=byramhealthcare,dc=com
ldap suffix = "ou=People,dc=byramhealthcare,dc=com"

... and here's what I get when I try to add a user, presumably to the 
LDAP pdb.. it finds the ldapsam pdf, but then never talks to it...
