Thought so, your problem was that you ran 'samba-tool' with sudo.

You do not actually have to do this, all the files in samba/bin and 
samba/sbin are executable by *anybody*, just don't use sudo and 
definitely don't give anybody an admin password that you do not trust.

I am afraid you are wrong again :-)     If you are going to add them, 
add them at the start, this way they will be found *before* any other 
earlier versions.
