Looks like I have been barking up the wrong tree on this. I copied the 
ldb mentioned above to a backup and manually removed the entries that 
the testdb was complaining about. Testdb now comes back clean, but the 
Invalid security ID structure error continues. The logs are showing

Conversion was returned as type 0, full token:

I have a 74k log file that records me starting up the smbd and trying to 
access a share. Is adding this as an attachment the best way to send it?
