For anyone who runs into the same issue, I believe that I must have corrupted
one of the user or policy-related local databases on the PDC.  I was only able
to resolve this issue by removing Samba from the system (and deleting the
contents of etc samba) and then re-installing it again as the PDC.  The fresh
install seemed to fix whatever the underlying problem was.

Best of luck,
