I didn't notice at first, hence me posting to the parent again... you've 
got a few conflicting entries here:
security = server
passdb = tdbsam
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/private/smbpasswd

You don't 'need' a passwd file when running in server security, although 
it apparently will fall back.  I'm presuming that your smb passwd file 
parameter is the default anyway, but it's not used in tdbsam, which is 
another red herring to the setup.  I'd drop all but your security mode.

Also, you may want to get rid of it all and run with
security = domain
since you've got a (presumably) good PDC server running.  This will mean 
that you'll have to join your samba box to the domain however, but that 
will help you to validate your setup.
