I changed a number of parameters, but the one I think made a difference was "use client driver". 

That most certainly didn't seem to take unless I restarted Samba - restarted Samba and it worked immediately.

Nope.

Strangely, after a few minutes it seemed to resolve itself. ISTR Active Directory on Windows can take a while to completely get itself together - is the same true of Samba 4.x?

I'd need to do a lot more testing to establish if this is a regular problem or simply a minor, impossible-to-replicate transient glitch. Fortunately, I plan on doing quite a bit of that over the coming months. So I daresay I'll find out eventually.
