You may have already done this, but "just in case"  did you do a:

smbpasswd -a username

Making sure that "username" is identical on your NIX box and windows
box.

Actually, I took the existence of the smbpasswd file for granted. The
user 
name in the smbpasswd file has to match the UNIX user name. If WIndows
has a 
different name, you need to translate it via smbusers.
