Samba on Solaris 10, smbpasswd not writing to correct file

We are using the stock samba (/usr/sbin/smbd) that comes with Solaris 10 for a basic network share, which works. I was working on adding a user, the /etc/sfw/samba/private directory has *.tdb files that get updated, but smbclient will not authenticate.

Turns out, it appears that it's /reading/ from the smbpasswd file and writing to the *.tdb files (!). If I copy the working entry in the smbpasswd (changing the login name) it works fine. I'm stumped as to what the issue is here.

Thanks.
