[Samba] Confused about groups and access

Hello,
 
My nt admin made a group for my samba server called
Share_Dfsroot_pvcs-cdw_C and added me as a member.  I made a nested
group on my side with
 
net rpc group add ntcdw -L -Uxxxxx
 
I then added the Share_Dfsroot... with
 
net rpc group addmem ntcdw "DOMAIN+Share_Dfsroot..." -Uxxxxx
 
net rpc group members ntcdw -Uxxxx shows:
 
DOMAIN\Share_Dfsroot... so all looks good.
 
 
I then created on unix side a group called ntcdw and then tried to
associate ntcdw (ntgroup) with ntcdw (unix group) with:
 
net groupmap modify ntgroup=ntcdw unixgroup=ntcdw
 
I then set my share directory to be owned by the unix group ntcdw and
set permissions to 770 on the directory.  
 
When I try to cd into the directory with my workstation login, it says
Permission Denied.
 
What am I doing wrong?
