Cannot create login on cluster

Question

I have a SQL Server 2008 R2 cluster on Win2008 R2.

I am unable to add a login for the service account.

Any other login I add to this instance works fine and I have been able to add the same service account login to numerous other SQL instances.

Moving the instance to other node does not resolve the issue.

when I run

 CREATE LOGIN [DOMAIN\ServiceAccount] FROM windows; 

I get the error

Msg 15401, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Windows NT user or group 'DOMAIN\ServiceAccount' not found. 
    Check the name again. 

When I run

exec xp_logininfo 'DOMAIN\ServiceAccount', 'all'; 

I get the error

Msg 15404, Level 16, State 11, Procedure xp_logininfo, Line 62
Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user 
    'DOMAIN\ServiceAccount', error code 0xffff0002. 

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
