I'm using 3.0.1 stable on RH9.0 with ldap as nss and passdb backend. I 
had similar problem, when i was trying to store workstations Unix 
account information in ldap, when i switched to local passwd file for 
workstation accounts it started to work. By the way, do you have a 
account with  uidNumber=0 and sambaSID=xxx-xxx-xxx-1000? Try to look at 
http://www.unav.es/cti/ldap-smb/smb-ldap-3-howto.html if You are using ldap.
