No, but perhaps I need a log level tweaked higher somewhere.  It is 100% 
reliably true that if I use system-config-securitylevel to set SELinux 
enforcing to off, smbclient works fine, and if I reset SELinux back to 
enforcing I see the above error messages again.  So SELinux is 
definitely the culprit here somehow.
