[Samba] cannot start after "chown-ing" a directory

Unix solaris 10
samba 3.0.21b

I am having a problem starting samba. I originally installed and started 
samba on a computer successfully, but realised I did not have the 
correct permissioning for the shared directory. I tried "chown" on the
directory (in the path of the smb.conf file) whilst samba was still 
running. I then killed nmbd and smbd and tried re-starting everything. 
Unfortunately samba will not start up now.

I am starting samba using the following commands:

./smbd -D
./nmbd -D 

I have just been using kill to stop the two processes.

When I type "netstat -a" I cannot see any netbios or 137/139 lines.

My smb.conf file seems ok:

# ./testparm
Load smb config files from /etc/sfw/smb.conf
Processing section "[homes]"
Processing section "[stuff]"
Processing section "[printers]"
No path in service printers - using /tmp
