[Samba] Problems with group memberships in AD

I have a Samba box joined to a Windows 2003 AD.  I have noticed a
strange problem with adding users to groups.  I added user 'shw' to
the group 'project1' on the AD.  When the user logs in the the Samba
box, he does not have the permissions of someone in the 'project1'
group.  When I run 'id shw', group 'project1' shows up.  However when
I run 'id' as shw2, group 'project1' does not show up.  For example:

# getent group project1
project1:x:15026:svend,shw

# su - shw -c id shw
uid=15013(shw) gid=15000(domain users) groups=15000(domain
users),15026(project1)

# su - shw -c id
uid=15013(shw) gid=15000(domain users) groups=15000(domain users)

# wbinfo -r shw
15000
15026

I have restarted the winbindd daemon several times.  Has anyone seen
this behavior before?  Any know fixes?
