Oh, I realized I should have answered this part as well:

- The KDC logs are helpful as well (but they would have told you the
  exact same thing).

- If you set the KRB5_TRACE environment variable, a lot of debugging output
  will be generated.  You want that to be set to the name of an output
  file; you can use /dev/stdout on most operating systems to get it
  printed directly to the terminal.  However, in this case it
  would have also told you the same thing, just more verbosely.  E.g.:

[21198] 1776464444.633823: Response was from primary KDC
[21198] 1776464444.633824: Received error from KDC: -1765328378/Client not found in Kerberos database
