Hi
As we understand it:

idmap_ldb:use rfc2307 = yes

Means that uidNumber and gidNumber are pulled from the directory as 
opposed to idmap.ldb.
For users, we added:
objectClass: posixAccount
uidNumber: abc
gidNumber: xyz

and for groups:
objectClass: posixGroup
gidNumber: xyz

I think that your old users and groups will lack these entries and so 
samba will fall back to idmap to get the information for uidNumber and 
gidNumber.
