I suspect your version of PS CS3 + Camera Raw is simply too old to be compatible with the output of LR 4 or 5. Since Camera Raw has certainly been developed further than PS CS3 and Camera Raw v2.x or whatever it is, you can't really expect all the LR 4 or 5 adjustments (which match Camera Raw 5 or 6) to be backwards compatible to too old a Camera Raw plug-in.
I opened a raw file in LR 5.7, applied a preset with a bunch of radical changes to it, and exported it as a DNG file compatible to Camera 7.1 and later. I then opened it in PS-CS5.1+Camera Raw 6.7. All edits were in place. You can check what adjustments are actually in the file by using EXIFtool to output the original raw file's data and then the exported DNG file's data. The fact that your old PS CS3+Camera Raw can open the DNG at all shows a basic level of universality. Processing adjustments are dependent upon the version of Camera Raw, not DNG.
