run it in the foreground with:

$ sudo -H smbd -F -D10 2>&1 | tee -a 
/var/log/samba_oh_god_help_me_I_want_to_die.log

You should be able to glean something useful out of the debug log.... 
maybe .. hopefully  ... possibly ... possibly not, but at that point, you 
have to ask:

   Is there a difference?
