A work-around is:
1. Add the machine account without the trailing '$'
2. Then edit the /etc/passwd (and if you have shadow passwords enabled
also the /etc/shadow file) by adding a trailing '$' to the login id.
3. Add your machine to the smbpasswd file by using:
smbpasswd -a -m 'machine_name'
This should get you past the road block.
