I agree with the "stripped down smb.conf and build it up a block at a time" troubleshooting method suggested by others, but I am curious: does the Linux box have a hostname other than "localhost"? If so, try inserting a "netbios name" directive in smb.conf and see if that makes any difference. Hmm...
