yeah, i know - i didn't quite understand unix "primary group" permissions
when i wrote the code.  i want to move to a file cache with a program that
generates the nt permissions file as a result: i don't want to have to
"add" the user's primary group.

also, the program could catch problems like unix groups and unix users
with the same name: under NT you *must* have a unique name across users,
groups, aliases and domains.
