I take it you didn't get the message that using '.local' is a bad idea.
If Avahi is running, stop it.

The parameter value is 'nonsecure', not 'nosecure'

If that doesn't help, try adding this line:

dns update command = /usr/sbin/samba_dnsupdate --use-samba-tool

'domain' and 'search' in resolv.conf are mutually exclusive, you
shouldn't have both, but if you do, the last one wins, luckily in your
case the correct one is last.
