Did you run mksmbpasswd.sh to create it? The usual form is:
For samba installed from a rpm -
cat /etc/passwd | mksmbpasswd.sh > /etc/smbpasswd
For the stock Samba -
cat /etc/passwd | mksmbpasswd.sh > /usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd
You should edit the resulting smbpasswd file to remove root, bin, etc.
You can also use smbpasswd -add <user>. I am not sure if it will create
the smbpasswd file but it will add a user to the password file, so if
it doesn't create it, try making an empty file...
