Check that the computer accounts in LDAP have the appropriate Samba
object class and attributes.  (In other words, check that they're not
just POSIX accounts.)

Check that their RIDs are correct.  Under the default setup, I think,
a user account's RID = uid * 2 + 1000.

Try turning up the log level to see if that gives any more information.
