The only thing I can suggest is to ensure that the /etc/passwd file and
/etc/group file is accessable, other than that, you will need to run the
programs individually and check the log files.  I would try this for smbd :-

smbd -i -d 10 -l . &

This will cause smbd to run in the forground (so you can tell eisier when it
exits), print maximum debug output to the log file, and create the file
log.smbd in the current directory. Use the same options for nmbd, and check
the file log.nmbd afterwards.  These logs are usually pretty good with
samba, and should give you an idea of the problem.
