When using samba3x package a kerberos service principal name needs to be specified in the keytab

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

When using the samba3x package from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, an additional service pricipal name needs to be added to the key tab file (cifs/my.host.com). With the samba package it works with just the host principal name (host/my.host.com). In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 it is not needed either. KDC is an Active Directory.
