In a further update to this problem, I have migrated the CNAME to another 
server that we have standing in for the 'faulty' instance. This server was 
previously working fairly well (although SMF had restarted samba at least once 
due to the parent smbd process crashing but no core file was produced) and was 
not generating large numbers of error message regarding locking mutex.tdb.

Now I have migrated the CNAME, we have huge numbers of errors on the temporary 
server. I suspect some sort of Kerberos error related to the CNAME record - 
previously all clients using the 'good' server were using the real hostname of 
the box. Why this appears to cause some sort of locking error on mutex.tdb, I 
have no idea currently.

Does anyone have any further suggestions on this? Or does anyone know what 
mutex.tdb is actually used for? All of the documentation I've seen leaves its 
usage blank.
 
Cheers,
Steve
