I am having the same exact issue.  I have not tried assigning
permissions using DOMAINPREFIX\\username, but like you I can get
Kerberos tickets, use smbclient to connect to windows shares, but from
a windows client, I cannot connect to the Samba server.  I'm using
Suse 9.1, and the latest version of SAMBA that I've tried was 3.05.
