I had exactly the same problem the gui was not adding or updating the user, especially the password. By looking into the /etc/smb.conf i found that it was not using tdbsam as password backend eventhough i had it selected in the gui. I did that as it was not showing the enabled users in the section users after restarting the gui and samba did not let me login. now samba still does not let me login. if i call the gtk program system-config-samba i do see the user but it indikates that the password is 8 characters long eventough i want one which is longer. Which might be the problem that I'm not able to login. I wanted to use the kde gui to check if the password is only 8 characters long or if the user now that i have fixed the backend manually is visisble but the gui crashes.
Using kde version which comes with ubuntu 10.04 lucid

The error happens when the password db file is set to /var/lib/samba/passdb.tdb which is the password file used by the tbdsam backend. If it set to the non existing file /etc/samba/passdb.tdb it starts again. The problem that unix users are not mapped eventhough listed by pdbedig -L -v and the problem that the password is improper persists
and may not be related to the kdegui but to tdbsam backend which does not accept or process passwords longer than 8 char :-( i'm still searching for parameter allowing to change maximum password length from 8 to more
