It would also help if you followed the howto and didn't change bits that 
you don't like, just why did you install into /samba instead of 
/usr/local/samba ?
Everything out there is based on self compiling into /usr/local/samba, 
the wiki gives you the instructions based on this.

having said this, it is possibly/probably a path problem, could you 
please post (along with what Marc has asked for) the result of 'samba -b'
