We solved that setting the GID of the AD users (setting the UIDs
didn't solved that... you need to set the GID too). See [1].

Just FYI: another BIG issue we have was modifications of groups requiring too
many time to propagate to fileservers (form minutes to hours). The only
workaround I've found to that issue is [2]. We are using Samba 4.1 now.
