it is also generally a good idea to use the testparm command to test 
your master config file for correct syntax.  See this page:
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/install.html
 and search down for the "testparm" command.

While this would NOT have fixed the question that OP asked, it will also 
validate syntax and also result in a tighter, more efficient smb.conf file.
