I checked the SIDs of the original NT4 PDC and the samba BDC (after net 
vampire had
run) and they were different.  Could this be causing problems? According 
to this microsoft article:

"... a BDC's relationship to a Domain is identified by it having the 
same computer SID as the other Domain Controllers (DCs)."
