 I have user and group names the same on several places on my main server -
the shared folders 'owned' by groups have a 'force user' to a user ID of the
same name as the group. 
 i presume in the NT world, such files would be owned by the group, but Unix
doesnt do that.
 If there is no 'automatic' handling in Samba of group-user clashes for
the NT model, ive got  a bit of mucking about to do to change the names
of all the 'group' users and amend the configs.
