There are too many single points of failure - correct spelling 
and ordering of parameters, existence of driver files at the
right location, perms on the target model subdir etc. But all
these can usually be precisely detected by using a proper debug
level - of smbd, NOT of rpcclient. Jump the debug level with
smbcontrol and then look in the client log file after the
failure.
