[Samba] Weird permissions problem

[Samba user]

So I just discovered that if I do...

smbpasswd -x myuserid
smbpasswd -a myuserid

didn't change anything.

But then if I stop/restart smb, it works fine again for me to access my 
700 mode files.

So...What's going on here?

Why is the smb passwd database getting corrupted?

Why do I have to stop/restart smb to get it to recognize the change?
