Arrg...  The problem was missing user in the group I use for the samba
shares.  I was mapping to a unix user and didn't add it to the group.
Finally, I stopped looking at auth on the member server and moved
everything over to the PDC using NFS.  When setting it up I was making
sure all my permissions were correct and noticed my folly.  Fixing the
permissions... everything worked!
