Problem converting "Local (managed)" users to Network Users

Server: 10.5.3 (same occurred in 10.5.2 so its not related to the update) using OD/LDAP/WGM etc.
Clients: Various 10.5.2 and 10.5.3

Somebody set up our users on the server but instead of making them proper network accounts they paired them with local user accounts on the clients, making them "Local (managed)" users. Grrr. I now have the task of converting these users into real network users.

The problem is that even once I have "unpaired" these local user accounts from the server, these user accounts do not become available as "Network Users" (i.e. I can't log in with their details). However, when I create new users in the correct way in WGM, these new users /are/ available as "Network Users". I have compared the properties of the old (not working) users and new (working) users in WGM inspector but can't see any obvious difference.

Anyone any ideas?

(I realise I can delete the old user accounts from the server then create new accounts with the same name and shortname, and this does work, but it throws up a new problem with iCal getting confused between the old user and the new user - iCal seems to still use the old GUID for the shortname!!)

Thanks
Chris
