Have you pointed your machines at this one for their wins server? This is crucial. As an alternative, have you looked at the remote sync related parameters?
Yes. XP clients WINS settings are pointing to the samba server. I've also tried not using samba as a WINS server, pointing both samba and XP clients to other WINS servers in the WAN, but that doesn't work either.
What other WINS servers do you have? How is WINS replication configured?
We currently have one wins server in our subnet, that is the samba PDC (when it's wins support = yes). Before I set up samba as a PDC WINS server, there were 0 wins servers in our subnet. I prefer not to have a wins server in our subnet. Our old NT4 PDC (not a wins server) and XP clients have always pointed to wins servers outside our subnet but on our WAN, and the NT4 PDC has always kept a perfect browse list of all domains in the WAN.
I don't know what wins replication is but now that you've mentioned it I'll look into it. Hopefully that's my problem and fixing that will make the browse list work correctly.
Thanks!

Thanks for the tip though. Any more?

I have a similar problem, except I'm not going through a VPN, I'm in a university WAN. My samba PDC cannot get the browse list of any domains outside of my subnet. I've gotten some responses saying you should just be able to see the browse list no problem, others saying they can't see the browse list. Documentation on this is terrible. Commands I've used to troubleshoot are: findsmb, nmblookup and smbclient -L, but all they tell me is what I already know: my nmbd cannot get the browse list from any domains outside of my own subnet yet still in the WAN. Interestingly, I have an NT 4 PDC on the same subnet which can do exactly that: it see's every domain in the WAN. In all other respects samba PDC works perfectly, but if I can't fix this browse list issue, we can't replace our windows PDC with samba.
If you find the solution, please let me know. I'll do the same. If you find any additional troublshooting tools, please let me know.

I have a openvpn setup between two Linux boxes. The internal networks on each side are on seperate network ranges.
I can ping all boxes from either side, and if I search for a box using it's ip address, I can see the box and access it's shares.
What I would like to do however is to be able to see the the pc's in their workgroups (each subnet has it's own workgroup).
I have tried setting up each samba box as a wins server for it's own workgroup, and then pointed the pc's on the other network to use it as its wins server, this didn't seen to work either.
Can anyone help in this regard, what else should I do?
