Cannot change samba password from XP


I can't change the password for the account from the XP change password dialog. I get an error that the password case don't match. I have the following segment in smb.conf if that is the section that would cause this.

passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *Retype*new*UNIX*password* %n\n *Enter*new*UNIX*password* %n\n *Retype*new*UNIX*password* %n\n *passwd: *all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*

You should have something like:
Code:
   unix password sync = Yes
   passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
   passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
