Thank you for you answer but unfortunately this didn't work either...
if I ps -auwx |grep mbd I get nothing running

If I manually start the script :

avid# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/samba.sh start
Starting SAMBA: removing stale tdbs :
Starting nmbd.
Starting smbd.

should I be adding something  else to my rc.conf?

Try these instead:

smbd_enable="YES"
nmbd_enable="YES"

The only thing you need in rc.conf is samba_enable="YES".

If you do a dmesg -a, do you see any Samba related startup errors? If not, how about the log files in /var/log/samba?

It sounds like Samba is failing at startup because it requires something that's not available yet (like DNS). After your machine is finished booting, it has the environment it requires.
