Just a guess, but from the looks of things I'd say it has
to do with one of the tests that the smb file is "executing".
You have to careful evaluating some of these tests. For
example:

if test ${NETWORKING} = "no"
then
exit 0
fi

is condensed to:

[ ${NETWORKING} = "no" ] && exit 0

in my smb startup command.
