Excellent! I hadn't seen that patch anywhere, and I am of course still using 3.0.4, so I will upgrade to the newest version and give it a whirl. Thank You!

That patch was accepted into core Nagios, so it should be available to you if you upgrade to at least Nagios 3.0.6. You need to search for "sambasrv*" or "sambasrv.*". I can't determine right now at a casual glance if it uses fnmath(3) or regexec(3) to match the hostnames, but 10 seconds of trial and error on your behalf will do that part of the research.
