I had this problem recently as well. It happens on a network when a  
network wide user's account has a user id that is the same as a local user  
id.  Check that the users id doesn't conflict with, say the localhost's  
"me" user, or other local (non-network wide) user.  Use UserManager to  
check this. I neighbourhood is now in order...
