If you are starting and running the smbd & nmbd daemons, then samba-tool 
wouldn't work, you are still in 'classic' mode, you need to provision 
samba as an AD DC with samba-tool (full instructions are on the wiki) 
before samba-tool will create users.

I am a Python and Samba novice, but it appears that samba.auth is overshadowing samba.dcerpc.auth, or vice-versa. When I run python interactively, I can import both modules, but I only see the attributes for the first module imported - i.e. if samba.auth is imported prior to samba.dcerpc.auth, a dir of samba.dcerpc.auth will return samba.auth attributes, which presumably causes the AttributeError.
