You've got it. Just because I was seeing the machine in the "server manager" didn't mean that it was joined. I was also making another silly mistake: I was using smbpasswd -j PDC instead of smbpasswd -j DOMAIN.
It is now fixed, and I can browse the samba share. Also, thanks to anthony grren for his hint about enclosing a split username in single quotes. It worked, but it seems to cause problems in bash. Thanks All for your help.
