I had the same problem, the passwords didn't get transfered with vampire.
I manually entered the passwords into the samba server using the 
smbldap-tools and then the user could log in.

After we were able to get the user logged in, the profile changed upon 
login.  I am not sure but this may be how it is supposed to operate or 
the best it can do.  If I understand the scenario you were shooting for, 
  this is also what we were expecting or hoping for.

  Hopefully someone here can either confirm or deny that this is the way 
it is, because we have put in a serious amount of head banging and hair 
pulling also.

  We had the system setup for local profiles.
