Please forward us the contents of your smb.conf.

It appears that, at the time nmbd is being reloaded (as is necessary for log
rotation), your system has no active network interfaces.  We should find a
way for nmbd to shut down cleanly in that instance, and perhaps hook into
/etc/network/if-up.d to restart it as needed, but we should first confirm
that there isn't a misconfiguration in your particular smb.conf.
