I agree, as previously,  things had worked fine without the "-i" 
option.  In the interim I had upgraded to Debian 3.4.3.  The error 
message given in the logs led me to this thread:

I tried it and was rewarded with an instant domain join.  The system was 
XP SP3 however, not Win 7.  The OP is at 3.4.7; perhaps circumstances 
have changed again.
