Are you absolutely sure you restarted winbindd after making
any config changes?  Also in current versions the nss_info data
is cached for a period of "winbind cache time seconds" so you may
need to purge winbindd_cache.tdb.  Also check for any other
caching services (e.g. nscd) outside of winbindd.
