Supplemental group support in smb.conf

Hi,

I have a share in my smb.conf file that I want to share to members of a
supplemental group, but I keep getting a network error.

here is the share:

[mp3s]
   comment = MPEG3 Encoded Audio
   path = /usr/share/mp3
   public = no
   browsable = no
   valid users = +mp3users
   writable = yes
   create mask = 0644

I have a group called mp3users that inside my /etc/group file looks like
this:

mp3users:x:104:kenshin,saraht,sarahp,yoonk,shanel,jackyw,andrewb,nathanm

All these users are primary members of other groups, and the directory is
located at /usr/share/mp3 
and it has ownerships of root.mp3users 0775

Also the server does domain checking by another NT server box, and all these
users have entries in /etc/passwd

Does anyone know of a switch I can use so that forces the user logging in
(if it is permitted to do so by /etc/group) to use the mp3users group?

Regards
