Are you running U2?  If not, you should update to it and clean out
the /var/db/nscd directory as well.

We had similar issues even with U2 beta.  We opened a support case and
they mentioned a bug fixed in U2 (cannot find the BZ number).  For some
reason, nscd -l passwd will not fix the problem.  You have to clean
out /var/db/nscd and restart nscd.
