As root try:

Curiouser and curiouser. That worked, I can't connect now. Why should Samba cache the password file? Seems a bit of a security problem to me.
The samba Caching directory is in /var/cache/samba . Why should it Cache it? For quicker access. That is the way it is designed and I know of no security flaw in that. Just executing service smb reload will not disconnect a user. But using "restart" will dump all the users.
Oh, I didn't spot the distinction between 'reload' and 'restart'. Personally I would have forced that after a password change, or at the very least after deleting a user because otherwise they seem to still be able to get in.
