Thanks Edmundo and apologies for not having consulted the fine manual more closely - I should know better. In the end testing revealed that the tools were putting the machine accounts under 'ou=computers,${suffix}' (as I wanted) but samba seemed to be looking for them under 'ou=users,${suffix}', because if I reconfigured the tools to put the accounts there then everything worked as expected. This is odd as I have 'machine suffix = ou=computers' in smb.conf & now, having now put things back as they were, everything's working! Therefore I can only conclude that the issue was due to some typo that I've now unwittingly corrected - odd, as I was logging samba at up to 4 & saw nothing suggestive.
