Mike, We actually had to modify the following keys in addition to those
you mentioned to get the trust to work properly. This came down to a
call to MS, so hopefully someone else can benefit from it.

NT trust 2003:

Regedit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\LSA\lmcompatibilitylevel
1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\parameters\requirestrongkey
0

Services
NT LM Security Support Provider should be started and set to Automatic

GPO's
Domain Controller Policies
Domain member: Require strong (Windows 2000 or later) session key
Disabled
Network access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts
Disabled
Network access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts and
shares Disabled
Default Domain Policies
Domain member: Require strong (Windows 2000 or later) session key
Disabled
Network access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts
Disabled
Network access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts and
shares Disabled

*Note* we never were able to actually validate the trust in 2k3. But we
were able to browse both ways and add permissions across groups as
needed.
