To fix this problem I had to create my own rid_algorithm,

(*pdb_method)->rid_algorithm = pdb_udb_rid_algorithm;

which returned false and also fix some of my own coding errors.

Just one last question in regards to rid_algorithm can I assume the
following?

return False if we don't generate our own rid - let Samba handle 
return True if we generate our own rid - let our rid function handle


Thanks
