[Samba] Error Starting Samba

I got a copy of the latest samba build from the samba site, v4.1.11. I compiled and installed it with the default options on OpenIndiana 151.1.8. I previously had samba installed from the openindiana repository but this stopped working after my windows folks made security changes to AD. I suspect the older version of samba in the repo 3.5.21-0.151.1.8 lacks certain functionality to enable it to successfully integrate with AD using winbind. Because no matter what I tried after the changes in AD I could no longer assign AD users and groups to my ZFS file system permissions and as a result seemless integration stopped working.

Now I am unable to get the new samba that I installed to start. I get the following error messages. Any ideas?:
