You might be facing Samba Bug #1297, where the problem is that the
username map is unexpectedly consulted twice. The bug discussion also 
includes a band-aid which worked for me, e.g. having in smbusers

   !unixuser = ntuser
   !unixuser = NTDOMAIN/unixuser

helps me to map ntuser into unixuser (in my case unixuser does not
exist as domain user; I guess the point would be moot otherwise).
You might have to put the two lines directly as shown, i.e. one
after another with nothing in between.

Hope this helps,
