Is it the case that your passwd file does not contain sids, i.e. wasn't
built with mkpasswd, and does not contain either a line starting with your
Windows username?  
If so, I would recommend running mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd (backup the 
passwd file first; use mkpasswd -d -l if you are a domain user), 
and edit your entry as you like it.
If not so, please send me the outputs of "id" and "strace true".
