Ok, just checking.

I realize it's too late now, but the next time it says smbd is
preventing sleep, it would be good to know if the act of turning System

Rather than interpreting the output of pmset for us, it might be more
helpful to copy and paste the complete output here, in case there are
other hints about what's going on.

Also, if you know the exact date and time the system tried and faild to
sleep, it would be good to copy and paste any messages in the
/var/log/system.log file that have time stamps that match that date and
time. System log messages often give more detail about error conditions,
including sleep/wake issues.

We need to know more about the cause of the issue before recommending a
solution, I'm afraid.
