Samba 3 PDC "Domain Admins" not working correctly for some accounts

xpost from linuxquestions since it didn't generate any responses or discussion there. Input welcome!

I have a Samba 3 PDC where I am a member of "Domain_Admins" which is mapped to "Domain Admins" but when I log in to a Windows machine, I'm not an admin; I'm just a regular user.

If I add a new user to Domain_Admins, the new account does have admin rights on Windows clients. But, my older account in the Domain_Admins group does not have admin rights on the Windows clients.

So, new members of Domain_Admins have admin rights on Windows clients, but older ones do not. Something must've gone wrong somewhere, but I'm not sure what that would be. It would be great if I could restore my existing account to real "Domain Admin" status without deleting it and re-creating it.

Suggestions on troubleshooting this are welcome! Thanks.

*Edit: My account did work as an actual "Domain Admin" at one point, but stopped somewhere along the way.
