Again, those scripts are used only by tools that create accounts trough 
samba, like net or usrmgr, if you dont use it those lines will not be used.

About the samba attributes, when you add a machine account the script 
"add machine" must NOT ADD SAMBA ATTRIBUTES, only posix, samba does that 
alone. Refer to the idealx documentation (if you really want that things 
work properly, reading the documentation is not an option), it was 
already discussed here and the documentation explains how to configure 
that and how it should work.

http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=33543&group_id=166108

About knowing what is happening, put a log level 2 or 3 and try to join 
a machine. Look at the logs, it should say what exit the script gave and 
what samba tried to do.
