If smbd is being started as "nobody", (is that what "m6nobody" is?), it will be unable to bind to a privileged port (tcp/139 in this case). "nmbd" is apparently being started as root. What's the "-d 999" about? According to the manpage for nmbd... -d <debug level> debuglevel is an integer from 0 to 10. The default value if this parameter is not specified is zero.
