nevermind folks, I got it figured out. I found out about the bug in
the version of Samba I was running... updating it to 3.0.6 fixed it.
Additionally I modified some master browser information that seems to
have corrected the complaint I was getting in the nmbd.log file.
Thanks anyhow, everyone back to their labor day weekends. :)
