Are your both DC wins servers? I guess there should be only one, the
other pointing to the first one with directive "wins server =".
If both servers are on the same subnet, then "master browser "
directives should not conflict between each other.
These were my guesses, I may be wrong.

More info from log files is needed in this case.
I saw you have 127.0.0.1 as your ldap servers in both DC, could be
problem with user databases inconsistence. Set BDC to look at ldap
server on PDC temporally to debug.
