Thanks Julius, that got me on the right track. I reinstalled, this time without messing with the config files. I only had to do three things: make sure nfs was running (for some reason it wasn't at first); add some refresh lines in lts.conf for some crummy monitors that we're stuck with; and the last thing was that for some reason even though gdm was running, the clients were only getting gray screens with an X, so I ran kdm and that seemed to solve it.
Now I just hope it holds up when I reboot ... but it looks like I can breath easy!
