This indicates your cache_effective_user does not have permissions to
execute /usr/local/samba/bin/ntlm_auth

This is most likely due to the fact that you are trying to use a Samba-2.X
winbind helper with Samba-3.X.

For samba-3 you can use the wbinfo_group (wbinfo_group.pl) helper for
group membership lookups. Using winbind_group (wb_group) will not work as
it assumes a Samba-2.X installation.
