Somehow I got a non-printable character in the smb.conf file on the line "force user = root", so it wasnt really trying to force the root user but a non existent user. (which is exactly what the damn log file was telling me I just pulled my hair out before toggling non-printables on in my editor and it was plain as day) I had copied my smb.conf to a vista pc using cifs before reinstalling, then I cut and pasted it back, so it got garbled somehow.
