I can't give you a reason why other then say "it won't work that way?" Speaking from experience
that is :)

Anyways, in your /usr/local/etc/rc.d create a samba.sh and put this in it:
#!/bin/sh
smbspool=/var/spool/samba
pidfiledir=/var/run
smbd=/usr/local/sbin/smbd
nmbd=/usr/local/sbin/nmbd

# start
if [ "x$1" = "x" -o "x$1" = "xstart" ]; then
        if [ -f $smbd ]; then
                if [ -d $smbspool ]; then
                        rm -f $smbspool/*
                fi
                echo -n ' Samba'
                $smbd -D
                $nmbd -D
        fi

# stop
elif [ "x$1" = "xstop" ]; then
        kill `cat $pidfiledir/smbd.pid`
        kill `cat $pidfiledir/nmbd.pid`
fi

This works for me.
