Does Cron knows the path to all utilities, such as tdbbackup, that are
used in the script? If not, add a $PATH variable at the beginning of
your crontab. For example:
PATH=/usr/local/samba/bin/:/usr/local/samba/sbin/:$PATH

Alternatively, run the script in debug mode to see what fails:
0 0 * * *   /bin/bash -x /path/to/samba_backup > /tmp/samba_backup.log 2>&1
