Jerry,

At the top of the script are lines to add the following to smb.conf:

	add user script
	delete user script
	add group script
	delete user script

I think this solves the problem concerning the existence of the groups and 
users, and also cleans them up after the test is finished.  I still haven't 
figured out the problem with 'rpc group'.
