Well, you can try
    /etc/rgyd -restore_master
This may fix your problem.  If not, then it's almost certainly rgy_create time.

This is actually very simple.

/systest/ssr_util/acluid <file>

will show all the UID's associated with a file's ACL's.
You'll see something like this:

% acluid stcodes
Acl for stcodes:
3F041A5A.2000B623 00000000.00000000 00000000.00000000 pcc.%.%
00000000.00000000 00800040.00000000 00000000.00000000 %.none.%
00000000.00000000 00000000.00000000 14E54ABB.60000021 %.%.r_d
00000000.00000000 00000000.00000000 00000000.00000000 %.%.%
%

This says that the person "pcc" has uid 3f041a5a.2000b623,
group "none" has uid 00800040.00000000, etc.
With this information, you can get the UID's of each person's
accounts.  (Of course, if somebody doesn't own any files, then
you don't have to bother adopting UID's.
