Thank you for your suggestions. I did all below and no luck, but I
found the answer. My mapping files are located in /var/cache/samba. I
discovered if I deleted the dir and created an empty dir of the same
name, it all worked.
Thanks

A couple of things to check:
1) Is your new group "available" for use on your RHEL3 box? That is,
can you find it in your group listings: "wbinfo -g" or "getent group"?
2) Look at the group's entry in the output from the command "getent
group" -- are the group members what you expect from your AD?
3) Does your [test] resource have a "valid users =" line? (Without,
default is anyone can connect...) If so, does the membership
specified on this line include the users in your "write list ="
line? (Doesn't have to specify the same group as your "write
list=" line, but users specified here should also have access granted
via inclusion in the set specified on your "valid users=" line.)
E.g.
valid users = "@Domain Users"
write list = "@Subset_of_users"
