[Samba] Unable to join domain?

I think I'm nearly there. I got to the point where I was running net ads 
join -U Administrator, but it does nothing when I do that:

  # net ads join -U Administrator
Enter Administrator's password:<enter password>

at which point it just sits there. Out of curosity, I ran strace on the 
net program as I was attempting to join. It shows reading each character 
individually, but not doing anything else. It just continues to look for 
input:
read(0, "X", 1024)                      = 1
read(0, "X", 1024)                      = 1
read(0, "X", 1024)                      = 1
read(0, "X", 1024)                      = 1
read(0, "X", 1024)                      = 1
read(0, "X", 1024)                      = 1
read(0, "X", 1024)                      = 1
read(0, "X", 1024)                      = 1
read(0, "X", 1024)                      = 1
read(0, "X", 1024)                      = 1
read(0, "X", 1024)                      = 1
read(0, "X", 1024)                      = 1
read(0, "X", 1024)                      = 1
read(0, "X", 1024)                      = 1
read(0, "X", 1024)                      = 1
read(0, "\r", 1024)                     = 1
read(0, <sits here for eternity>

I doubt I've encountered a bug, that's too big and ugly to have escaped 
detection. So what am I doing wrong?
My updated smb.conf (sans comments):
[global]
         workgroup = eglifamily
         security = ADS
         realm = eglifamily.name
         winbind refresh tickets = Yes
         vfs objects = acl_xattr
         map acl inherit = Yes
         store dos attributes = Yes
         dedicated keytab file = /etc/krb5.keytab
         kerberos method = secrets and keytab
         winbind use default domain = yes
         winbind enum users = yes
         winbind enum groups = yes
         dmap config * : backend = autorid
         idmap config * : range = 10000-24999999
         idmap config * : rangesize = 200000
         template shell = /bin/bash
         template homedir = /bulk/home/%U
         username map = /var/lib/samba/etc/user.map

[homes]
         comment = Home Directories
         browseable = no

[printers]
         comment = All Printers
         path = /var/spool/samba
         browseable = no
         guest ok = no
         writable = no
         printable = yes
Thanks for you help so far!
