QEMU gives specific commands to smbd so that it can be run as non root 
(in particular, it uses stdio to communicate with smbd instead of a 
priviledged socket with a port < 1024). I think your problem comes from 
the fact that you use smbd version 3. I only tested QEMU with the version 2.

The solution would be either to support version 3 or to include the smbd 
code in QEMU so that we can be sure it behaves as expected.
