This isn't a Red Hat problem - I do this all the time. This is a
configuration problem.

getent group #does it list the groups in /etc/group first and then
             #the groups in LDAP?

chmod problems? are you trying to change the mount? The mount is owned
by whomever made the mount

just to show you that it works on samba...
[root at linserv1 samba]# mkdir test
[root at linserv1 samba]# chown "Craig White"."Domain Users" test
[root at linserv1 samba]# ls -l
total 14
<data snipped for clarity>
drwxr-xr-x    2 Craig White Domain Users     4096 Jan  9 14:13 test
[root at linserv1 samba]# grep "Craig White" /etc/passwd
[root at linserv1 samba]# grep "Domain Users" /etc/group
[root at linserv1 samba]# getent passwd|grep "Craig White"
Craig White:x:1003:1008:System User:/home/users/Craig White:/bin/false
[root at linserv1 samba]# getent group|grep "Domain Users"
