What are the permissions on the directory itself?
$ ll /var/run/samba -d
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4.0K May 2 01:04 /var/run/samba
Have you tried restarting samba? These files should be created when samba
first starts; if these error messages are coming from child processes forked
off by samba, perhaps the problem is that something on your system has
(wrongly) deleted the files from /var/run/samba and that's why it's failing?
Yes, I've tried restarting samba. I even tried 'aptitude reinstall
samba' earlier.
Things are getting a little bit complex now:
(1) After restarting samba, the directory /var/run/samba still only
contains an empty perfmon/. No error messages show up in
/var/log/samba/log.smbd before I mount this samba share in another
Windows box. After mounting it in Windows, I found this showing up in
/var/log/samba/log.smbd, which looks similar to what I have reported
in the first mail:

(2) If I manually kill all the smbd and nmbd processes, and then
'/etc/init.d/samba start', I get:
# /etc/init.d/samba restart

Meanwhile, things show up in /var/log/samba/log.smbd:

unexpected errors happen:
