That's a unique problem, as you've probably found. We've been installing
and taking care of Samba/Windows solutions for 10 years and I don't
think we've hit that. 

Have you applied the XP registry patches that come bundled with Samba?

This could also be a machine account problem. Try leaving the domain and
re-joining.

When you add users to the Administrators group, does the domain show up
properly? Does the verify user button work?
