This is not the solution, but there are some things i notice.

For starters, use sendfile = yes is 2 to 3 times in the config file, one 
time is enough.
Secondly in the log section of the troubled system.

log level = 1
max log size = 1000syslog = 2


Is this a typo else it should look like this.

log level = 1
max log size = 1000
syslog = 2

what does the command testparm show on the machines?
Does the command wbinfo -u show you the users?
