Ryan, is it worth checking your domain infrastructure at this point, simply to prove that isn't the problem? If you have multiple domain controllers, for example, is it possible that the one on which you're creating the users isn't syncing with the one from which your CVS server is reading its data? dcdiag should raise the alarm if the two DCs haven't synced for a while.
I'm not saying this *is* the problem - there are plenty of other options, worse luck - but I've had similar symptoms with file access on servers that have been using DCs that have become isolated.
