OK, that error message is coming from here:

        try:
            group_memberships = s3db.enum_group_memberships(user);
            for group in group_memberships:
                if str(group) in groupmembers:
                    if user.user_sid not in groupmembers[str(group)]:
                        groupmembers[str(group)].append(user.user_sid)
                else:
                    groupmembers[str(group)] = [user.user_sid];
        except passdb.error, e:
            logger.warn("Ignoring group memberships of '%s' %s: %s",
            username, user.user_sid, e)

and it seems that it cannot find the user 'pl13'

If there are only a few of these, then they can be ignored, but if
there are a lot, it needs sorting.

If you examine this line:

            group_memberships = s3db.enum_group_memberships(user);

it uses 's3db' to get the group memberships of the user, 's3db' is
obtained here:

    def get_sam_db(self):
        return passdb.PDB(self.lp.get('passdb backend'))

In English, this means 'what is to the right of 'passd backend =' in
smb.conf

So, at this point, it might help if you posted your smb.conf.
