What distro are you using ??

You could try running

smbldap-populate > errors.log

This will push all the errors to a file called errors.log which you can then post to the list

If your doing this as root, try editting /root/.bash_rc to include the path to the idealx scripts so 
it reads

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/opt/IDEALX/sbin

Logout and in again and it'll include the idealx scripts (this is a bit of a hack and I'm sure 
someone will tell you / me the correct way but it works ;-) )
