samba - Apr 2006 - Samba 3.0.22 PDC - "The parameter is incorrect"

Hi everyone;
      I have searched the internet up & down for an answer to this problem.
I'm stumped.
   
  Here's what I've got:
  Samba 3.0.22 configured as a PDC using tdbsam as the passdb backend (switching
to LDAP when I get everything working).
  testparm says everything is fine. I've added the root user and a normal
user to the database (using smbpasswd). I even went so far as to manually create
a machine trust account.
   
  The problem is, when I try to join a machine to the domain, it asks for the
domain credentials. I supply it with \\DOMAINNAME\root and the password I set.
   
  I get a message back saying:
   
  "The following error occured attempting to join the domain
<DOMAINNAME>:
  The parameter is incorrect.
   
   
  Any suggestions?

This should be DOMAINNAME\root (w/o the leading double backslashes).

If I try that, I get "The specified network name is no longer
available."

Debug level 10 log is needed.
