Jody, I don't understand how you got more lost. Google pulled up this 
little gem from Andrew Bartlett (one of the samba gurus) when I put in 
your query:

Have you joined the domain with 'smbpasswd -j -r PDC -Uadministrator'?

This message indicates that the shared secret between your server and
the DC cannot be found in the secrets.tdb.   Joining the domain (as
indicated in the docs) sets up this secret.

Andrew Bartlett

Basically - your trying to get samba to join the domain hosted by 
another PDC. To do this, it must be authenticated, which you haven't done.

It was found here:
