hi,
i had a similiar efect when i accidently placed the samba-tdb files in a 
folder which got clean up each and every time by an automatic script.
as winbindd does the mapping from AD-users/groups to local 
userids/groupids not algorithmical a user gets a new id each time the
mapping db-gets deleted.
For you, this results in a change of the owner/group of the files.
