To answer my own question, I severely misunderstood what
"man smb.conf" was saying about "idmap uid" and
"idmap uid". I was trying to match them up with
my current user numbers and group numbers.
Placing my idmaps in this range cured the error
message.
idmap uid = 15000-20000
idmap gid = 15000-20000
