I have done this with success but without regard to any profiles.

Start with the obvious and check your smb logs and up the "log level" in
the smb.conf if necessary.  That should get you going in the right
direction.

Also, make sure you have access to the samba server when it is running
as the BDC.  Make sure you resync the passwords by running vampire
again.
