Did USRMGR.EXE administration work in 2.27a?

I noticed I haven't written up any mygroupdel. But now I tried
/usr/sbin/groupdel and it works even for strange group names like
"Live Beef"

sh-2.05b# /usr/local/samba/bin/mygroupadd "Live Beef"
414
bash-2.05b# fgrep "Live Beef" /etc/group
Live Beef:x:414:
bash-2.05b# /usr/sbin/groupdel "Live Beef"
bash-2.05b# fgrep "Live Beef" /etc/group
bash-2.05b# 

So I changed my smb.conf line to
delete group script = /usr/sbin/groupdel "%g"

Is it possible my problems were caused by not-working group deletion?
I doubt USRMGR.EXE would delete any groups on user addition.
