if you look at the code i supplied, you'll see that that is precisely
where i get the sid from:

  sid = win32security.ConvertSidToStringSid(win32security.LookupAccountName(None, username)[0])

so win32security.LookupAccountName is not giving me the complete sid for the username.
any idea why it isn't doing so? any idea what i'm doing wrong?
