Can you do a straight login / ssh as that new user?

Somewhere in those howto's and example books that JHT, et al, has written he
says to set the uid of the Administrator to 0.  what UID does your
administrator have?  I believe from vague memory that the smbldap-populate
script automatically sets the uid of the Administrator to 0.  Just use
smbldap-passwd Administrator to make sure that the password is set. then try
adding your Machine again.  This worked for me last night when I got the
same error.

tell us what happens.
