Just in case anyone is interested, this was a simple case of case sensitivity of the username. The domain name needed to be in uppercase, so the login had to be:
DOMAINNAME\username And then everything worked fine. I think windows might automatically use uppercase for domain names. You can check the log to see what it is using on a valid user. There are also options you can put in your config file to make thing case insensitive if you want but I am not familiar with them yet. Sorry if everyone know this, but I am still new to Samba.

Everything works find. I have one issue. I cannot connect to a share from a machine that is not on the domain. If I try to connect to the share from a windows xp box that is not on the domain that the samba server is in, I am prompted for a username and password. If I put in my domain credentials, I still get an access denied message. However if I login to a computer that is on the domain using credentials that are part of the group that is allowed access to the same share, I can get into that share without an problem or prompt (as you would expect). I just don't understand why I cannot connect from a machine that is not a member of the domain. Any thoughts? Also, how do you have samba re-read the smb.conf file without having to restart smbd on debian?
