samba - Sep 2012 - smbd fails to start - rpc_srv_register: Failed to call the svcctl init function!

I am attempting to upgrade from the samba version distributed with CentOS 5 to
the latest stable samba release

CentOS version is 3.0.33

I removed the distro version and then:

cd /usr/local/src
wget http://www.samba.org/samba/ftp/stable/samba-3.6.7.tar.gz
tar -zxvf samba-3.6.7.tar.gz
cd samba-3.6.7/source3
./configure --with-configdir=/etc/samba
make
make install

I am using my original smb.conf file which has some deprecated options, but
still passed the testparm test

when I attempt to start smbd from the command line

/usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd -i -d 1

I get the following output and smbd does not start/

smbd version 3.6.7 started.

Given you have such major failure, stripping back the smb.conf to
exactly what you need would be a good start.  Specifically give
attention to 'unix charset'.
