This sounds like your authentication is not matching up the uid
numbers that exist for the home directories.  Try logging in to
the server in text mode on an alternate virtual console or ssh
in and do an 'id' to see what value you get.  If it isn't what
is on the home dirs, wade through your pam config to figure out
where it came from. Did you just switch to windbind or a different
approach?  Do these servers have users in the /etc/passwd files?
