A quick google found this:

and at the very end a user reports success with this:

but it's for 10.5 - so not sure if it would work with 10.4

You can always re-install the OS with an Archive and Install (esp. if you 
try the above and it doesn't work).  It's actually a pretty cool feature 
of Mac OS:

if you pick the "Preserve user and network settings" option about the only 
thing you have to put back after an archive and install are printer 
drivers.  For a complete system re-install, it's fairly non-intrusive.  If 
you forget to check the preserve users setting:

It's so non-destructive to your Mac that it's my default install for 
whenever I upgrade to a new version of Mac OS.  Re-installing my printers 
is a small price for having a clean OS install.  You may have to 
re-install the Xraid software too - so have that ready.

I just checked with one of our resident Mac guru's and he didn't have 
anything to really add to the above since we haven't encountered your 
issue (although it looks like others have too).  I did confirm with him, 
since I don't play with server that much, that an Archive and Install will 
preserve the user accounts on server just like it does on the desktop 
versions.
