Very interesting.  This was the same setup Andrew Bartlett was saying
didn't work for him at the CIFS conference.  Seems like you have to leave
the domain first...which wasn't the case with NT.

I wonder if there's something we're missing in this join that would enable
us to do it without leaving first...
