I think you would have to start looking at a network trace to
understand who is refusing what exactly.

I'm assuming this is something that is trying to trigger a process
directly on the client?  

I realise you probably don't want to set up one just to test, but the
question that comes to mind is:  Is it a Samba issue, or does this
happen in a Windows domain also?  Is there any communication with the
DC?
