CSVDE doesn't query child domains

I'm trying to generate a report for a customer that lists out display name, office and description for each member of each distribution list they have in AD.

I hacked something together using csvde but it's giving me unexpected results...  The Forest at this customer consists of a parent (root) domain and two child domains.  All the distribution lists are located in the parent/root domain.  When I run my mini-script against the OU that contains all of the distribution lists though, I only get results if the user account is found in the parent domain.  Any users that are in child domains simply don't show up in the report...  I feel like I'm missing something simple here but I can't find it for the life of me.

Attached is my little script that I've been running so far.

Thanks,
Travis
