[Samba] Samba and ACLs

I posted last week and got some good answers, but I am still having
problems.  Samba does not seem to be converting the acl's properly.  Here
is an overview:

Windows 2000 Domain
Red Hat 8 w/ acl rpm's installed:
   e2fsprogs
   libattr
   attr
   attr-devel
   libacl
   acl
   acl-devel
   fileutils
   star
Winbind working perfectly
Two Drives:
   Primary Drive EXT3
   Seconday Drive that houses Samba Shares XFS
       Note: XFS has built in ACL support
Samba configured with acl support:
  ./configure --with-acl-support
  make
  make install

If I run wbinfo -g or -u it lists all the groups or users (respectively)
in my domain.
If I run a getfacl on a file it prints out the correct acl's.  For instance:

getfacl libattr-devel-2.0.8-3.i386.rpm
# file: libattr-devel-2.0.8-3.i386.rpm
# owner: MCASOLUTIONS\harris
# group: MCASOLUTIONS\Domain Users
user::rw-
group::rw-
other::---

However if I check a file through windows it permissions show up as
unix_group.gid

Here are some screen shots:

My theory is that samba is not properly converting the linux ACLs into
windows ACLs but I'm not sure how to fix it.  Any ideas?

Thanks!
