Assuming there are no other Windows servers on the local subnet

windows that is configured as a master brower according to microsoft's
documentation so I basically forced, by editting the registry, a
Windows Vista in my workgroup to always act as a master browser.
I changed "MaintainServerList" to "Yes" in the registry,
"IsDomainMaster" doesnt seem to exist in vista
This has not worked properly
I'm using the cifs server in workgroup mode
I can access the shared if i manually use \\nbname in both windows and gnome

If you can do that then NetBIOS names are being resolved on your
local subnet.

the only error related to cifs I can see is
Mar  2 19:23:08 saturn smbd[565]: [ID 413393 daemon.error] dyndns:
failed to get domainname

If you don't have a dynamic DNS server, use sharectl to disable it:

        sharectl set -p ddns_enable=false smb

Am I reading this incorrectly and this cant be done?

The output from cifs-gendiag may help:
