Suggest that you turn up your logging levels.
smbpasswd user will prompt for a password for user and if properly configured, pass the changed password to the mechanism in place (in your case, smbldap-tools) but only if properly configured. Best guess... you have a 'ldap admin dn' set which needs to have modification privileges to your ldap server for most everything. Either you haven't set the password for this account in secrets.tdb (smbpasswd -w PASSWORD_FOR_LDAP_ADMIN_DN) or your ldap acl's don't permit desired changes.
