[Samba] Samba Time Server Problem

I recently reinstalled a system running Samba as a WINS/Time server and I can no longer get Windows systems to access it correctly.   

I see the following now

[D:\Temp]net time \\timeserver
System error 5 has occurred.

Access is denied.

I am an administrator on this system and it works OK if I point it at another server I know is running Samba

[D:\Temp]net time \\othersystem
Current time at \\othersystem is 9/3/2010 11:42 AM

The command completed successfully.
 
What have I missed in the Samba config on my server that is causing this problem.   Here is my smb.conf

# testparm -s
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
Processing section "[homes]"
Processing section "[printers]"
Processing section "[print$]"
