I think that this indicates that Samba isn't running smbldap-useradd
as root because the account you're using doesn't have permission to
add computers to the domain.  If you don't have privileges enabled
("enable privileges = no"), then I think you need to use the root
account to join the machine.  If you do have privileges enabled
("enable privileges = yes"), then make sure that the account you're
using has the SeMachineAccountPrivilege.  See chapter 14 in the Samba
HOWTO for details on privileges.
