Did you ever resolve this?  I am seeing the same 30 second delay with
Samba 3.4.7 and Windows 7 Professional (Workstation), except it is
followed by an equally mysterious 15 second gap.  Here are those records
from the log file:

The domain user does login eventually.  Mostly.  Roaming Profiles are
very broken on W7: the top level "Vista.V2" directory is created, but
nothing is stored back into it on the server, and the logged in domain
user ends up with a C:\Users\Temp profile.  Files created by the domain
user and stored locally or on a share are set with the correct
ownership.  Roaming profiles still work normally for XP, and the XP and
W7 profiles are separate.
