AD-bound 10.9 clients with local homes not showing LDAP/AD users in DSCL or userlist?

I'm rolling out a 10.9 lab, and my workflow works fine.
My machines deploy and configure as expected.
Bind to AD works great.
The AD bind has "force local home directory" and "Use UNC path..." enabled.
I can log in with LDAP/AD users, and profiles/policies work fine.
The users get a local home forced.

They DON'T show up in the local user list or via a command like: "dscl . list /Users UniqueID"
These sorts of users used to automatically show up in 10.7.
Since this is my first wide installation of 10.9, I'm not sure where to look to diagnose - any help?

Your AD bind is not configured for Mobile Accounts. Turning this on in the AD bind will make OS X 'cache' the AD account locally (in addition to the home directory) and put it in the local directory system.
I wouldn't necessarily turn this on in a lab.

You're precisely correct - forgot that this had been previously added to an OD managed pref that enabled mobile homes, but disabled sync.

Thanks - totally spaced.
