This only happens when I try to create a new group from the User Manager
for Domains - This search is in the test to see if the posixGroup exists
(right after it calls out to the group creation script).  I have several
groupMappings in operation and they all work correctly; Do I understand
your correctly that you've got working groups, or is it that you're able
to create them as well?
