what do you have for share path in your sysvol share?

[sysvol]
     path = /usr/local/samba/var/locks/sysvol
     read only = No

The path directory should exists and have sensible rights. There error 
you have tells that you have no such directory (and for the tmp file 
created, it looks like normal if the directory does not exists, I 
changed the sysvol path to garbage on a test install and got the same 
error message).

Cheers,

Denis
