when using rfc2307, you have to define a uid or gid for all the users 
and groups that you plan to use on your fileserver. By default "domain 
admins" group has no gid, only a SID. So you have to set it up. If there 
is no gid, you can still see it with wbinfo -g, but you won't see it 
using getent group <groupname>.

HTH,

Denis
