I can help! Thought I'd post a follow-up, being that I've seen several people
with this problem and nobody has come up with a solution. My problem was that I
upgraded the Samba package. There must have been another package that links the
wbinfo utility and winbindd that was version mismatched. I updated all the other
packages on my system (which I was avoiding - as once it went badly - bad not
this time) and it all works great.

I guess I'd relied on the package dependencies to tell me if I should have
updated something else with the Samba package. Oh well.

Interestingly, I also had the problem where users could create and delete files,
but not rename/modify them (even with chmod 777 and no facls). Upgrading the
remaining packages on my system fixed this problem too.
