Two possibilities that I can think of:
(1) The password server you've specified isn't the right one. If it's a w2k Active Directory server, it may not be in NT emulation mode, and thus won't acknowledge NT-style join requests. If it's a w2k Domain Controller (pre-AD), .. hmm, not sure about that one. Might still need to be in NT emulation mode?
(2) Your password might be wrong. Try doing -U admin, leave off the password. It'll prompt you for it with "Password:" (and hide it from the screen).
Note: you don't need a "realm" if you're not using AD, which it looks like is your case, as you're using "server = domain".
