I have had this problem a bunch of times. I _believe_ that it is caused by samba using the username/password and then failing (guest access
is only when there is no usernmae/password..does that make sense?)..There is a setting which allows you to fallback to a username if the
original username/password pair fails (in the docs this is said 'to cause confusion for sys-admins') I believe if you poke around with 'map to
guest' and 'bad password' you should be able to come up with a solution.
