I noticed this too (and it tripped me up until I noticed it).

Unless I'm missing something, samba-3.0.10-1.4E.2.i386.rpm, as
included with CentOS 4.2, uses /var/cache/samba.  Older Fedora
.src.rpms from the Samba site used /var/lib/samba, so if you're
upgrading from there, that explains the change.
