[Samba] winbind + nested groups in ssh = permission denied

Samba 3.0.21a, winbind setup to auth for ssh sessions.

Active Directory (windows 2003 server)

 

I have a group (workpaper admins)

which has 4 other groups as members of the group.

 

I have a file under the filesystem (/data/workpapers)

that has the permissions rwxrwx--- root.workpaper admins

 

so that anyone that is a member of one of the 4 groups should be able to
create new files in the /data/workpapers directory.

 

Getent group shows members of all groups, except the workpaper admins
group

 

workpaper admins:x:15007:

 

is that because it is a nested group?

 

 

Now the strange thing is, some members of the 4 groups can create new
files in that folder, and some get permission denied.

I can't find a pattern.

 

Can someone recommend a log to watch, or a smb.conf setting for winbind
that will make it log more, 

 

Any help appreciated in figuring this one out.
