This appears to work now.

This didn't appear to help. The new DC still doesn't recognize itself as 
a DC:
# net rpc trustdom list -U shubes
Unable to find a suitable server for domain R3I
Couldn't connect to domain controller: NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL
#

I do have the SID of the domain/host that was created by this host. I 
wonder if restoring those records in secrets.tdb, then using the net 
command to change the SID of the domain and host might fix things up. 
Does the net setdomainsid command do anything more than change the value 
of the record in the tdb file? If it does, that could be a solution.

Anyone have any insight about how to go about changing the host name of 
a domain controller (while migrating it)?

Thanks.
