Yeah other thing u might wanna check is that the ACL directives in your 
LDAP server are correct
i noticed this

smbd/posix_acls.c:canonicalise_acl

it's possible that you gave permissions to certain parts of your ldap directory and not others that samba needs.
i'd double check your ACLs

and if they are correct and it's possible restart your ldap server just to make sure things populated correctly.
If you have a slave it shouldn't be a problem but i dunno what kinda config u got there
