you haven't sent in your smb.conf file. i am assuming that you are using
"security = user".
have a look at the unix uid. have a look at your
/usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd file. for the specified user
(drobbins), is the smbpasswd smb_uid the same as the unix uid?
the answer is no, by the way.

ah.
why?
where is the PAM module getting the unix uid from? have you compiled
samba with -DUSE_PAM?
etc etc.

not that it matters, but do you happen to know what those pre-compiled
binaries' options were? you need to check your smb and unix uids,
basically.
