New OD server, client computers see Network Accounts, but no passwords work

Question

I set up 10.5 server on my mini, set up DHCP, DNS, OD Master, etc. From the computer bound it to the OD domain, but when I click on the Network User account from the login screen on my MBP and type in my password, it just shakes, like the password is wrong, and it is not.
However, if I chose Other... and type in diradmin and the password, it logs in just fine. This leads me to believe it is just some sort of permissions issue, since obviously it can use the LDAP to authenticate the diradmin account, which isn't local on the MBP.
Any thoughts BESIDES blow away the mini and start over. I hate that solution.

You have not defined allow-recursion.
E.g. snippets from my BIND config:
acl trusted { 127.0.0.1; 192.168.5.16; };
options {
listen-on-v6 { none; };
listen-on { 127.0.0.1; 192.168.5.15; };
// Allows only specific hosts to use the DNS server
allow-query { trusted; };
// Lock down recursive queries too, to be on the safe side
allow-recursion { trusted; };
