Chris,

Just a guess really - but after reverting to 3.0.28a, I removed the domain
account for the server in question and then added it on the domain
controller before doing a 'net join' on the samba machine. After starting
samba again, all was well. 

In case it's of relevance - the samba server is 6.2 RELEASE-p12.
