[Samba] Specified user does not exist. Huh?!

Paul,

Here's what I've done but I'm still receiving the same error message:

1) I've removed the domain admin user & domain admin group from the
smb.conf file
2) I've switched from the smbpasswd backend to tdbsam
3) I've changed smbpasswd to smbpassw.old
4) I've added the root user to the tdbsam database via pdbedit -a -u
root and it gives me this output which seems to look just fine to me:
