Just to follow up:

I had to user log out.  I then logged in as the user, and ran:
newgrp office_administration

Checked and verified and now when I run "groups" it shows up in the
list.  The user logged back into her XP machine and can now write to
the share.

Any ideas on why this would happen, and how to avoid having to
manually log in as the user and run newgrp in the future?

Thanks!
