Print to PDF Problem in SuSE 9.0

For some reason, it seems that Samba isn't transferring print files to
the print queue. I'm at a bit of a loss because I have another SuSE 9.0
box configured basically the same way (Different domain name) and it
works great! Basically, both pdf-distiller shares shown below come up
in network neighborhood just fine, and I can connect to the print shares
just fine. Everything works great until I send a job to one of the
print shares.

When I send a job to either pdf-distiller print share, I get no error
messages, and no PDF file. The [pdf-distiller-debug] share is
configured to add log entries whenever a job is sent. That log file
DOES get updated, but no print file appears in /var/spool/samba/pdf to
be processed by Ghostscript. The spool directory is chmod'ed at 777 so
it shouldn't be a permissions issue, and I'm using the standard Apple
postscript driver on the WinXP side.

As mentioned earlier, I have another box configured (I think) exactly
the same way and it's working great. I've been ripping my hair out
trying to figure out why this isn't working here. If I had an error
message I would have a place to start, but I don't even have that.

I appreciate any help you can provide.

Thanks!
