[Samba] A few odd problems after server migration

Hey guys... I've been beating my brains out trying to determine the
cause of this problem, read tons of stuff online but have not been
able to make any headway.
My RH9 server bit the dust and I had to completely rebuild it. Built
it as a Fedora Core 2 server running Samba version 3.0.3-5 and
re-imported my old smb.conf file, smbpasswd file and such.
Re-created my share and gave it 777 permissions (root is the owner).
I can log in to the server from my XP workstation and my share appears
to work, however, as soon as I try to do certain things I have
problems.
For example, when I try to run the MS utility Robocopy to synchronize
the contents of my Samba share to the external hard drive on my
workstation I get an error from Robocopy complaining Accessing the
source directory (my Samba share) is denied... there is also a
precurser message claiming;
2004/09/05 21:27:13 ERROR 5 (0x00000005) Getting File System Type of Source q:\
Access is denied.
Is there any way to turn on a debug or log level to figure out what is
causing this request to fail?
The only messages I see that indicate problems are a message in nmbd.log
[2004/09/05 21:29:28, 0]
nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:find_domain_master_name_query_fail(350)
find_domain_master_name_query_fail:
Unable to find the Domain Master Browser name SHADOW<1b> for the
workgroup SHADOW.
Unable to sync browse lists in this workgroup.
and I am getting a nightly email to rootwith the following error messages;
**Unmatched Entries**
nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:find_domain_master_name_query_fail(350)

Here's the output of my smb.conf file;

# NOTE: Use these with 'encrypt passwords' and 'smb passwd file' above.

# OS Level determines the precedence of this server in master browser
# elections. The default value should be reasonable

# Domain Master specifies Samba to be the Domain Master Browser. This
# allows Samba to collate browse lists between subnets. Don't use this
# if you already have a Windows NT domain controller doing this job

# and gives it a slightly higher chance of winning the election

# Enable this if you want Samba to be a domain logon server for

# All NetBIOS names must be resolved to IP Addresses
# 'Name Resolve Order' allows the named resolution mechanism to be specified
# the default order is "host lmhosts wins bcast". "host" means use the unix
# system gethostbyname() function call that will use either /etc/hosts OR
# DNS or NIS depending on the settings of /etc/host.config, /etc/nsswitch.conf
# and the /etc/resolv.conf file. "host" therefore is system configuration
# dependant. This parameter is most often of use to prevent DNS lookups
# in order to resolve NetBIOS names to IP Addresses. Use with care!
# The example below excludes use of name resolution for machines that are NOT
# on the local network segment
# - OR - are not deliberately to be known via lmhosts or via WINS.
; name resolve order = wins lmhosts bcast
# Windows Internet Name Serving Support Section:
# WINS Support - Tells the NMBD component of Samba to enable it's WINS Server

# Note: Samba can be either a WINS Server, or a WINS Client, but NOT both
; wins server = w.x.y.z
# WINS Proxy - Tells Samba to answer name resolution queries on
# behalf of a non WINS capable client, for this to work there must be
# at least one WINS Server on the network. The default is NO.
; wins proxy = yes
# DNS Proxy - tells Samba whether or not to try to resolve NetBIOS names
# via DNS nslookups. The built-in default for versions 1.9.17 is yes,
# this has been changed in version 1.9.18 to no.

# Case Preservation can be handy - system default is _no_
# NOTE: These can be set on a per share basis
