I spent all yesterday thinking what can be wrong, and today the whole
day trying to figure out by changing different settings / watching logs etc.
I googled for people with similar problem, but there weren't many, the
only solution to the problem I had was this "sleep" added to
smbldap-tools (thanks for that).
In logs I could see that Samba is complaining that it can't find the
machine/name [it just added] (writing happens to a remote master over
worst case slow ADSL/VPN link, then it's replicated to a slave over the
same link), so I think that approach with adding "sleep" is good.
But finally it works; sometimes I was thinking that these M$ guys
talking about higher Linux TCO might be right :)
