I'm not sure why, but that problem has cleared up now - I did a yum
reinstall of samba and after that its working OK - I am now getting the
S-1-5-32-544 sid for the domain administrator (maybe I did not have the
distro version installed as I thought I had?).

So I tried rebuilding the samba package "properly" with the correct
options for my fedora distro by using rpmbuild rather than downloading
and making it manually, and that built version works OK too.

It would still be nice to know what made the difference if anyone can
shed any light on it?
