If you want to create the links the easy way, become root, and enter:
chkconfig smb on
This will create all the start and stop links for you. You can also
use the off option to turn off the starting of a service.

Did you make the file exacutable? You will also get the same error message
if one of the commands in the file can't be found.

I like to use chkconfig <service> off to turn off a service. You can also
use ntsysv to do it. Things not to turn off? cron, syslog, random. As
for the others, it depends on what you are using the system for.
