Balance sheet doesn't agree w/trial balance

On a few accounts, each with few transactions, the trial balance for the account is zero, but the balance sheet is non-zero.  For example:
 
 
from balance sheet...

At one point (and the dates of these transactions look about right - back in 2001 or 2002) if a backdated entry was made to a balance sheet account zeroing it out as of a year end, the balance forward was not properly calculated.  UT-K-D on those accounts will fix it.
