[Samba] vampire doesn't appear to be working at the moment?

Indeed it should. I think that this occurs when the NT4 PDC doesn't
entirely trust the 'BDC' trying to do the vampire (like a setting isn't
right).

I would wipe out the users/machine accounts that were imported and try
again.

Make sure that samba is set up like a BDC (and I am doing this from
memory from more than 6 months ago)...
security = domain
domain master = yes
preferred master = no

net join etc...
net rpc vampire etc...
