smb_auth failing

I've set up smb_auth according to the docs. I've followed the
'troubleshootin' section in the 'smb proxy authentication module' document
by Richard Huveneers.
i.e. running smb_auth from the command line with the '-d' switch.

I can see everything complete up to the point where it wants to read the
contents of the 'proxyauth' file on the PDC. The 'Everyone' group has read
rigths to this directory (on the PDC). But the process will error at that
point.

--- sample ---

[squid@linux squid]$ /usr/bin/smb_auth -W bob -d
someuserid someuserid-password
Domain name: bob
Pass-through authentication: no
Query address options:
Domain controller IP address: 10.116.xxx.xxx
Domain controller NETBIOS name: PDC-SERVER
Contents of //PDC-SERVER/NETLOGON/proxyauth:
ERR
 

--- end sample ---

Does this mean that smb is working? Is the squid box actually seeing the
domain and the PDC? I'm sure the users have read rights to the 'proxyauth'
file in the 'netlogon' directory.

Has anyone seen this? Any and all suggestions are welcome.
