Yes. That was my first thought:

testparm
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
Processing section "[homes]"
Processing section "[printers]"
Processing section "[storage]"
Loaded services file OK.
Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE

[global]
	workgroup = NEW_NET
	netbios name = VIDEO_SERVER_IN_CLOSET
	server string = server in closet
	interfaces = lo, eth0
	passdb backend = tdbsam
	log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
	max log size = 50
	domain master = No
	guest ok = Yes

I think the problem is since you've got to have lo, samba figures virbr0 
is a local interface.

Your response prompted me to try:

interfaces = lo, 10.10.11.0/24
bind interfaces only = Yes

which gave me a different, but still wrong response:

  nmblookup -d 2 '*'
added interface lo ip=::1 bcast=::1 
netmask=ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff
added interface lo ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=127.255.255.255 netmask=255.0.0.0
interpret_interface: using netmask value 24 from config file on 
interface eth0
added interface eth0 ip=10.10.11.180 bcast=10.10.11.255 
netmask=255.255.255.0
querying * on 127.255.255.255
Got a positive name query response from 127.0.0.1 ( 10.10.11.180 )
10.10.11.180 *<00>

only broadcasting on the loopback interface.

puzzled,
