Before asking for help did it is a good idea to check available documentation. 
Did either of you happen to check chapter 8 of the book "Samba-3 by Example"?

	http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba3-ByExample.pdf

This chapter was written to help those who need to migrate, update, or upgrade 
a Samba server. Is this information what you need? If not - file a bug 
report!
