[Samba] Samba Permissions Problem

I need help understanding what is happening and trouble shooting.
I have two servers running Samba 2.3.3, one as a Domain Controller one
as a Member Server. Both are running Ubuntu 8.10. smbd, nmbd and
winbindd using the tdb back end are running on both.
I have two shares on the member server and as far as I can tell they are
identical. [Projects] works as expected but [Windows] always asks for a
login name even though the smb.conf entries for both are are the same.
If I comment out the "force group" in [Windows] users can access the
share but there are errors writing and creating files. If I create a new
share it acts as the [Windows] share.
Here are the share definitions and a list of the files in the directory;
[Projects]
Comment = Project Files
path = /files/Lucretia/Projects
writeable = yes
browseable = yes
create mask = 0764
directory mask = 0775
force group = "ATLANTA\domain users"
[Windows]
comment = Atlanta Windows Files
path = /files/Lucretia/Windows
browseable = yes
writeable = yes
create mask = 0764
directory mask = 0775
force group = "ATLANTA\domain users"
root at louise:/files/Lucretia# ls -l
total 66
drwxrwsr-x 2 root 10001 48 2008-07-17 03:17 Arris
-rw-r-Sr-- 1 root 10001 5952 2008-07-17 04:25 list
drwxrwsr-x 74 ATLANTA\rob 10001 17040 2009-12-17 15:25 Office
drwxrwsr-x 67 rob 10001 14456 1969-12-31 19:00 Office.orig
drwxrwsr-x 51 ATLANTA\trish 10001 4528 2010-01-14 14:26 Projects
drwxrwsr-x 8 ATLANTA\rob 10001 400 2009-07-10 15:52 Sigma
drwxrwsr-x 6 rob 10001 304 2008-07-17 02:50 Sigma.old
drwxrwsr-x 314 ATLANTA\trish 10001 24280 2010-01-13 09:49 Windows
Testparm shows no problems although it does rearrange the share
definitions somewhat.
The problem must be in windows permissions but I don't know how to check
them, especially since I have only ssh access because the site is
remote. I have to rely on local users for testing.
How can I get a list of ATLANTA\domain admin group users?
How can I change the permissions?
