[Samba] file permissions head-ache on Samba V3.0.4

Hi,

I hope that this is a quick answer, as it's probably
been answered many times before and I'm just missing a
very minor setting in my config.

I have just setup a samba server(ver 3.0.4) on a
Redhat Enterprise Linux Box ES3. The box has been
setup as a member of a Windows NT4 domain, it's to be
used as a fileserver for users on the NT domain.

I have configured samba to use domain security, and
have winbind working correctly (I think!!) - I can get
the domain users and groups to show from a 'wbinfo -u
or wbinfo -g.

I have been trying (unsucessfully) to configure the
/home directory so that the domain admins here can
manage the subfolders and the permissions, from the
server administrator or management console on their NT
/ 2000 workstations. 

I have used the following commands on the /home volume
so that the domain admins/users can have access to the
volume:
chown DOMAIN+Administrator /home
chgrp "DOMAIN+Domain Users" /home
(both commands threw back no errors)

I'm guessing that the problem may down to the smb.conf
file but I'm not sure what I'm missing.. would be
grateful if someone could assist.

TIA
