I will say this again but first this time, as you seemed to miss it
last time:

Why are you trying to run two instances of Samba on the same
machine ????

Having got that out of the way, how are you trying to run Samba ? as a
DC ? or as something else ?

You posted:

 it has something to do with:
   ;root directory    ;lock directory    ;state directory    ;cache directory 
The ';' turns off the lines and the defaults will be used, but if you
remove the ';', then all those directory will be set to NONE, i.e. they
will not be used.

no he posted originally that below an statet with comment it out things 
are working

I'm trying:

   root directory = /var/lib/samba-second
   lock directory = /var/lib/samba-second
   state directory = /var/lib/samba-second
   cache directory = /var/lib/samba-second

Good point, but why not post it as your second version, but with ';' in
front of the lines ?

It may be that it isn't a Samba problem, I have seen similar problems
with selinux or apparmor denying access.

He still hasn't said why he wants to run Samba twice on the same
machine, or how he is trying to do this.
