You need to 'chmod 4555 /usr/local/bin/xastir' -- xastir with normal
permissions cannot access the sm0 network device.

The sm0 device gets mapped to the axports entry based on the callsign
in the axports compared to the callsign entered in the soundmodem
configuration.

Stop running samba? ;-)

Seriously, though -- I am not sure. Perhaps there is a setting in
Samba to not operate on all interfaces, but only specific ones.
