Strange. 
A few more things to try:
Add a 
ulimit -a 
just before the daemon smbd.... line
and try again with the set -x line in place.

What is the output of
ls -alZ /bin/*sh 

Clean /var/log/samba/
and restart it. Any information in there?

I deleted some of your older mail, so I kind of lost the history
Was there a way you could force smbd to fail from a direct call from the
command line? If so, could you try to start it with a -F instead of -D.
Does it start then? If not, replace the -D in the SMBDOPTIONS
in /etc/sysconfig/samba with the -F and see what happens.You may also
want to add a -S there, so you do not rely on the logfile (-S logs to
stdout). Also increase loglevel in the smb.conf file to some higher
value than 1 (or again add a -d x in SMBDOPTIONS
the /etc/sysconfig/samba file
Please note that with the -F the script will not continue, so keep
another terminal open, just in case
