[Samba] Hide unreadable, strange problem

The "hide unreadable = yes" option gives strange results with samba 3.x.
Everything works fine when the server runs as a domain controller. Users
see the directories they are supposed to (unix group permission) in the
share. Turning off domain control and setting "security = DOMAIN",
however, hides every directory in the share unless you are an admin user.
I can cd to the directories with the appropriate permissions with
smbclient, but the content is invisble.
                                                                                                                                                             
Googling, tethereal and max samba loglevel came up with nothing as far as
I could see, so I am stumped.
                                                                                                                                                             
Any pointers, hints, solutions would be appreciated as I want to
move the BDC service away from this server (it hosts roaming profiles and
shared files).
