Checked some more, and it seems that STATEDIR and CACHEDIR are new
build variables as I haven't found these in the 3.3.9 build. These two
variables were /var/lib/samba by default causing my error.

Changelog contains the following changes
--with-statedir=DIR		Where to put persistent state files
--with-cachedir=DIR		Where to put temporary cache files

Guess these should point to /var/db/samba34 rather than /var/lib/samba

Just let me know if I need to file a PR

Kind regards,

Spil.
