Mike,
I dont know if I can help you much more, I ve not had much recent experiance
with samba as a domain controller (If thats what your doing) But I still
think your problem is what I said, (unix and smb passwords dont match)
particulary now that you say your using a script :)

Yes but name and uid must match the unix systems ,"unix
password sync" is supposed to change the unix details when you change
passwords using smbpasswd

well if you manually change a password with the original
binary are things o.k ?
one idea, are smbpasswd and PAM(eg /etc/shadow) are both
using encryption ?

no I cant explain it either, have you read the docs at

smbpasswd file to my knowledge
just trying to help,
