Hi... I'm sorry I didn't follow this up on time... I did eventually
solve it and wanted to share what the problem was.

The problem was that the uidNumber of the users involved, as they had
been created 'before samba', I had left them out of the idmap range
and somehow samba was either trying to generate new unix user id's or
something.

Widening the idmap range to cover the already created uidNumber's
solved the problem.
