Sorry... I mean to include my updated config files. I don't seem to 
have a "template homedir" defined anywhere... but I'm not sure if I 
need it, as pam.d seems to be trying to create home directories in a 
reasonable place, anyway (as you can see from the log).

When I log in I'm just using the username "ned" not "domain\ned", and 
it seems to do the domain stuff on its own.

If you'd have a copy of your own configs I'd be extremely grateful for 
them - perhpas by private email, if you'd prefer? I'm gonna have a 
tinker with it later, in any case - it's a relief this is working for 
someone else, so I know that what I want is possible.
