Mark - I posted this on ITRC too:

I assume that you have a Samba PDC (security = user) with a passdb 
backend of tdbsam or ldapsam.  If so, then you set domain policies with 
pdbedit.  I believe that you have to set the "user must change password" 
attribute *and* the "password age" attribute to 0 (for each user) to 
make it happen at the next logon.

Have you already tried this and it did not work?

I think it's:

pdbedit -P "maximum password age" -C value
pdbedit -u user --pwd-must-change-time 0
