I've reflashed 6.1.003 a number times recently on 2 different boxes, restoring settings from 6.0.008 without any problems.
Try reflashing but don't restore anything. Get the network up and running, opkg update, and then try to start samba.
If it works, select and restore your setting/plugins from backupmanager.

updated the duo2 and there it was working without problems with a full restore .There was a problem on updating from a few images ago but seems not to have been solved. Should look to the procedure but think it was making backup and updating again

I had problems getting Samba working again on version 6.0 (and in the past with a few couch upgrades) but this time around it was OK with with 6.1 on both of my boxes.
In the past what has mostly worked i(but not every time) is a couch update without a restore of settings and plugins. After getting your network up and running - starting SAMBA which will result in a download and a reboot of your box. Then restore settings from the backup manager.
If you go down this route perhaps check your menu ->timers -> power timers which sometimes can get duplicated if messing around to try and get something working (assuming that you actually use power timers)
I had the same problem few days back but on a diffrent image, what I noticed is that during flashing one needs to select under NETWORK - DHCP and not interface, I found that worked beacuse previous to that I selected 'Interface' and from then onwards it went wrong. I could be wrong but it worked for me

Using 7-Zip on a pc, I can view a settings backup without unpacking it. (Open archive.)

compared the samba from duo2 with octagon and on octagon in smb-user.conf the following is missing :
[global]
# include = /etc/samba/distro/smb-secure.conf
disable netbios = No
Solution : init 4
Deleted all in dir samba and copied files from duo 2
Init 6
and samba is working normal after restart

# include = /etc/samba/distro/smb-secure.conf

That doesn't really make sense, "disable netbios = No" is an optional parameter, so including it shouldn't make any difference to getting it installed.
And it doesn't really explain why a flash without restoring settings/plugins didn't work either.
Was that the only difference between /etc/samba on the 2 boxes?

That's a shame, this is what /etc/samba should look like, all the directories/files should have dates similar to the release, apart from those I've highlighted.
I'll remove the option and see what happens later.
Code:
