First off, if "myaccount" is a user account, then drop the "@" -- 
that is one of the specials used to designate a group.

Second, with "winbind use default domain" active/enabled, you should 
not have to specify the "DOMAIN\" part.

Also, since you are using the special char "\" as a domain separator, 
you need to be very cognizant of where you need to properly escape 
it.   (I.E., use "\\" instead of just "\")   I'm pretty sure that 
"valid users =" is one of those places...

Cheers,
