Just a followup, in case anyone else cares.. This problem has been worked
on and may be fixed in the samba CVS tree as of the 7th of this month. It
should be in the latest release candidate that has been posted recently.

You have to copy the libnss_winbind.so module from samba/source/nsswitch/
into /usr/lib and make symlinks to libnss_winbind.so.1 and perhaps
nss_winbind.so.1 and nss_winbind.so.2 (or so I read). I am now able to
assign microsoft domain user/group permissions on files and directories
and presumably I will be able to replace our fileserver with a samba3
machine which participates in the Active Diretory and uses kerberos 
authentication, etc.

Very happy about this....
