Did some research, but didn't find a solution. All the following links discuss a similar issue with not being able to find a service and in most cases the error reports the service name truncated by one character. One was reporting the service name with extra characters. These date back to 2003 and maybe earlier.
Some interesting discussions with some indicating a Windoze bug persisting from Win2k thru WinXP (and now vista) Others report it is a long standing samba bug since 2.x....who knows. One common thing near as I can tell is solutions are not identified. Many seem to ignore it, but the traffic and logs are putting quite a burden on the system.
