A few more thoughts...
for your smb.conf shouldn't it be:
workgroup = SHAMOFFICE
realm = SHAMOFFICE.LOCAL

or:
workgroup = SHAMBHALA-OFFICE
realm = SHAMBHALA-OFFICE.LOCAL

or maybe:
workgroup = SHAMOFFICE
realm = SHAMOFFICE.SHAMBHALA-OFFICE.LOCAL



For my setup I found having my domain being *.local problematic I ended 
up using *.lan
