Michael, not sure what is implied.  The log is not sufficient?
I see two error messages in the log.

[2010/11/08 14:32:56,  5] winbindd/winbindd_async.c:lookupsid_recv2(138)
  lookupsid (forest root) returned an error
[2010/11/08 14:32:56,  5] winbindd/winbindd_sid.c:lookupsid_recv(61)
  lookupsid returned an error
