How can I confirm that idmap_ad is being called?

I've configured Samba with --with-shared-modules=idmap_ad, built and
installed it; the file ad.so is now present in /usr/local/samba/lib/ 
idmap/
as expected. I then added the following to smb.conf:

    idmap backend = tdb
    idmap uid = 65536 - 999999
    idmap gid = 65536 - 999999

    idmap config SU : backend = ad
    idmap config SU : schema_mode = rfc2307
    idmap config SU : range = 1 - 65535
    idmap config WIN : backend = ad
    idmap config WIN : schema_mode = rfc2307
    idmap config WIN : range = 1 - 65535

Now I fire up winbindd with debug-level = 10, and issue some queries via
wbinfo. Some requests work as expected, some fail, but when I look in
log.winbindd I never see any reference to idmap.c or idmap_ad.c. I'd  
like
to confirm that this module is being used.

I went so far as to deliberately break the smb.conf by specifying

    idmap config SU range = 1 -

which I expected to produce an error from idmap_ad_initialize(),  
"invalid
filter range". But that message is never logged; instead I see only  
errors
from winbindd_util.c, add_trusted_domain():

[2011/05/16 16:57:11.442318,  1] winbindd/winbindd_util.c: 
204(add_trusted_domain)
   invalid range syntax in idmap config SU: 1 -

Have I missed out on some crucial bit of configuration that's required  
to
enable idmap_ad?
