Any suggestions (beyond "scrap it all and start over with the proper solution") are greatly appreciated.
Openfiler (http://www.openfiler.com/ Linux based) or FreeNAS (http://sourceforge.net/projects/freenas/ FreeBSD based) as an NFS server. You should be able to use pam_winbind winbind AD domain joining and idmaping to manage ID's across the Linux WS's and the NAS. Have the Linux WS's mount the /home (or whatever you're using for the *nix users) directory as an NFS share from the NAS.
