[Samba] smbpasswd - Samba and LDAP

Hi,
I've implemented an LDAPv2 server with samba support but find that
smbpasswd does not work as expected. I am using berkeley db-4.1.25_p1,
openldap-2.1.26, and samba-3.0.2a. Anybody have any clue why I get the
following error when attempting to add samba support for a user
(specifically a DB_KEYEXIST error).

I get the following output (excerpt) from smbpasswd:

ldapsam_add_sam_account: Adding new user
init_ldap_from_sam: Setting entry for user: shpatric
smbldap_add: dn => [uid=shpatric,ou=People,dc=sv,dc=vt,dc=edu]
ldapsam_modify_entry: Failed to add user dn=
uid=shpatric,ou=People,dc=sv,dc=vt,dc=edu with: Already exists

ldapsam_add_sam_account: failed to modify/add user with uid = shpatric
(dn = uid=shpatric,ou=People,dc=sv,dc=vt,dc=edu)
Failed to add entry for user shpatric.
Failed to modify password entry for user shpatric


I get a DB_KEYEXIST error (excerpt) from slapd.log:

Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
