[Samba] Trouble adding to domain

I am having trouble adding machines to domains.  I enter a proper
username and password on the windows end, the ldap server executes the
proper script, the script executes properly, resulting in the right
entry into ldap as shown below:

# lancelot1$, computer, igb.uiuc.edu
dn: uid=lancelot1$,ou=computer,dc=igb,dc=uiuc,dc=edu
objectClass: top
objectClass: person
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
objectClass: posixAccount
cn: lancelot1$
sn: lancelot1$
uid: lancelot1$
uidNumber: 1002
gidNumber: 515
homeDirectory: /dev/null
loginShell: /bin/false
description: Computer
gecos: Computer

However, the windows system does not have it join the domain, and give
an error saying "the user name could not be found."  Below is my config,
does anyone know what would cause this?
