@James,

This is a default install with no configuration. After reboot I can login and start smbd by hand manually with no problems (ie, without changing /etc/samba/smb.conf). These were the interesting lines in /var/log/samba/log.smbd:

These are repeated over and over until the upstart respawn limit is reached. This looks to me to be some sort of missing networking item in the upstart job (smbd.conf only has 'start on local-filesystems'), but I am not an upstart expert....
