The problem seems to be with idmapping.    In you smb.conf file do you 
have a section for "idmap"-  this tells samba which unix user id and 
group id ranges can be used to correspond to windows users and id's.  
the docs on samba.org may be a little out of date so you should also 
check the man pages for smb.conf and idmap_ad.
