What version of Samba ?
idmap uid (and gid) are depreciated in later versions of Samba, it may 
help if you post the entire [global] section of your smb.conf.

What ever the version of Samba, raising the lower level wouldn't really 
be a good idea, any saved files belonging to an ID in the range 
10000-20000 would lose their owners.
