What I was told is that the private dir is disabled when clustering = 
yes is set in samba 4.1. I started all over and tried the setup from the 
samba wiki. I still had to do a net ads join on both servers but it is 
working. The only thing I need to check is if CTDB is really replicating 
the databases for samba and winbind.

Any know how to check this?
