OK I fixed the problem but I'm not exactly sure what fixed it. I went into SMH and removed all references to NIS in the Name Service Switch configuration screen. After rebooting, somehow this fixed the problem. I tried listing files by date to see what changed and nsswitch.conf was the only file. The line for files is identical to what I had put in there but somehow SMH's version was better. Earlier, I thought perhaps I had some weird character in the file that wasn't showing up in VI so I tried recreating it by hand and copying it from another server that did work but was not successful. Yet, somehow, SMH was able to fix it. Go figure.

dmxgetscreencount
DMXGetScreenCount(3X) DMXGetScreenCount(3X)
NAME
DMXGetScreenCount - determine number of back-end screens
SYNOPSIS
#include <X11/extensions/dmxext.h>
Bool DMXGetScreenCount(Display *dpy,
int *screen_count);
DESCRIPTION
DMXGetScreenCount() returns the number of back-end screens that a Xdmx(1) server controls. Since a DMX screen usually fills all of the
available area on a back-end server, there is usually a one-to-one correspondence between DMX screens and backend servers. However, it is
also possible for a DMX screen to cover only part of the available area on a back-end server, and for more than one DMX screens to occupy
different parts of the visible area on the same back-end server.
A DMX screen may be managed as a regular X screen in the Xdmx(1) server or may be joined with other DMX screens using Xinerama.
RETURN VALUE
DMXGetScreenCount() sets screen_count and returns True unless there is a protocol error.
NOTES
If Xinerama is active, only one logical screen will be available to clients of the Xdmx(1) server. However, this call will accurately
reflect the number of composite back-end screens that the Xdmx(1) server is using.
