Based on your earlier comment about capitalized names, I suggest you
remove the account and rebuild it. It's possible that you've got it
messed up beyond easy repair.

Every chance of that.

The user seems to be logging on okay (I can't check that she's using
her own login because I'm off-site).

However, I'm still getting this in the /var/log/samba/log.reception

Should I be worried?

Notice how the last character of the lines are truncated? Shouldn't there be
an 'e' on the end the username?

I'm seeing a lot of that the truncation too (see
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6782)
