[Samba] AD integration: "getent passwd" can't see *new* users, but "wbinfo -u" can

I have two different systems (on different networks) showing this
behavior.  Both are running Ubuntu Dapper/606.1 LTS with samba version
3.0.22 and windows 2003 sp1 servers (not R2).  AD integration is done
via winbind, with nss using winbind.  At some point in time (which is
unknown to me), the samba server stopped seeing new users, groups,
machines which are added to AD.

scenario:
I add a new user to AD, say "smbtest".  I then look for the user with
"wbinfo -u", and it shows up.  However, it does not show up with
"getent passwd" (same for groups, "getent group").  If I try to map a
share to a drive letter, it goes something like this:

C:\WINDOWS>net use h: \\SAMBASRV\smbtest /user:DOMAIN\smbtest password

System error 1326 has occurred.


Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.

(The same results occur for existing shares, so it's not from lack of
a home directory)

Of particular interest is log.winbindd-idmap.  Whenever I try to
connect as the user smbtest to their home directory or another share,
this is logged here several times:

[2007/02/11 20:45:40, 0] sam/idmap_rid.c:rid_idmap_get_id_from_sid(485)
  rid_idmap_get_id_from_sid: no suitable range available for sid:
S-1-5-21-4050315045-3251428658-993335031-3123

"wbinfo -s S-1-5-21-4050315045-3251428658-993335031-3123" returns
"smbtest" as expected.
"wbinfo -n smbtest" returns that sid.
Other users/sids work.

other stuff I've tried / observed:

"net ads testjoin" looks good.
kerberos looks good.
There are no local accounts within the idmap uid/gid range.
"/var/lib/samba/winbindd_idmap.tdb" shows no new entries.
I've restarted samba and winbindd, and the whole machine went down for
a reboot, but I'm still getting the same behavior.
