[Samba] Home directory weirdness after upgrade from 3.0.33 to 3.5.6

[J. Pilfold-Bagwell]

Hi List,

I've just updated from Samba 3.0.33 to 3.5.6 on my Centos 5.5 PDC and am 
having problems accessing home directories.

To allow a backout option I set up a new server, put 3.0.33 on it, 
joined it to the domain and rsynced the home directories over with the 
flags necessary to maintain the permissions and user/group ownership.  
This worked and after completion I upgraded the new server to 3.5.6 
flushed the /var/lib/samba directory of tdb and dat files, rsynced 
ldap.conf and smb.conf over from the old PDC, changedthe name to PDC and 
set up the LDAP user password, etc.  using smbpasswd.

I can now log in as a user but can't access the home directories. If I 
log in with my domain admin account, I can access user's directories and 
pulling up the properties window I can see the permissions in the 
security window and these are correct.  Running getent passwd user and 
group show all the UNIX accounts from the LDAP server ok and "net 
groupmap list" shows all the correct group mapping.

To be certain, I ran chmod and setfacl on the user's directories buty it 
made no difference.

I have found other people with similar problems via Google but none of 
the solutions they tried, e.g. renaming and recreating smbpasswd etc. 
worked. Any suggestions gratefully  received.
