I had similar issues, with existing unix user accounts that were
mgirated across to a samba 3.0.1-2 PDC on a debian unstable system.
It's simply a matter of reassigning the Primary Group for the user
through NT user manager.

Perhaps the automated migration of unix accounts should assign the
primary group to the Domain Users group by default, or at least alert
and refer to the required process?
