In situations like these, I find you just have to keep digging at it 
until you figure out what the problem is. If you have access to the LDAP 
queries in III and the RoR app, check them to make sure there isn't 
anything the systems are expecting to find that wasn't regenerated. Like 
when the record was created, or some default settings or something. 
Also, check whatever mechanism is used for batch-creation (assuming 
there is one) to see if it sets anything differently than whoever did 
the re-creation.
