AIX, Quest SAMBA and secondary user group permission problems

$

I have a AD enabled user id that belongs to a secondary group on an AIX system.
Accessing the share from an XP workstation works fine for folders where unix permissions allow access to the owner or primary group of the user, but if the share should be owned and accessible by a secondary group the user belongs to. All attempts to access the share are rejected with the following message:

\\host\share is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.  Access is denied.

An easy way to duplicate the error is to create a sub-directory in your home directory with permissions 770 and setting the owner to someone else and the group to a secondary group your id belongs to in /etc/group.  Restart samba and attempt to access the new folder will fail with the message above.

Is there a smb.conf setting that needs to be enabled to allow processing of local groups for a vas enabled account?

Any assistance is appreciated.

I have installed the following packages:
quest-samba.adt         3.0.28.300  COMMITTED  quest-samba 3.0.28_q300
quest-vasidmap.rte      0.10.0.148  COMMITTED  no summary runtime
quest-samba.rte         3.0.28.300  COMMITTED  quest-samba 3.0.28_q300
