Partially solved:

having used webmin to sync, I was trusting it.  I changed my local 
password, then changed my password on the centos box, then changed my 
smbpasswd manually and I'm a little father down the path than I was

Thank you all for the help thus far.  I will continue to work on this 
and will (I'm certain) have additional questions :)
