HI Matt,

You may have to enable single sign on for those services to kerberize  
them with the AD kerberos settings.

dsconfigad -enableSSO

That said there are a number of issues with AD integration and various  
services.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article?artnum=306750

Calendaring in particular will need Augmentation not just binding:

AD users have not been imported.

This primarily relates to calendaring. Binding to an AD server will  
allow you to see the AD users in WGM, but binding alone will not  
enable the users for calendaring.

In Advanced mode, what you need to do is select the 'New Augmented  
User Records' item from the 'Server' window in WGM. In the resulting  
window, select the 'Calendar Server' from the drop down list at the  
bottom. Then select the AD user(s) you want to import.

In Workgroup mode you would import the AD users using Server  
Preferences.

Hope that helps.
