This is how I ran the perms on ALL my samba\ADS machines...Never had users...only domain groups...only user on the linux box was "root"

Simply use the nomenclature "domain\\usernameorgroup"...the single \ never worked for me...

I used this page to configure winbind and krb5:

I know you don't have ubuntu, but the instructions are general enough

that it should work.

Thank you!!! I added the two lines above and made a couple more changes
as suggested in the link above (removed the winbind separator line and
auth methods line and changed the valid users line in the share)  and
I'm attaching to the share without a password.

Now the problem is with perms. If I set the directory 777 no problem
writing to the share, or if I make the owner TTA\ituser no problem
writing. However if I set the group to the TTA\sambausers group (which
ituser is a member of and perms are 775) I cannot write to the
directory. Any idea what needs to change or how to get the directory
writable by an AD group?

Thanks again for helping me get this far.

Unfortunately that is a bit beyond my experience. From poking around Google it seems that permissions issues are frequent with Samba. Have you tried using the group id as reported by 'getent group' rather than the domain\group syntax? You may also want to try the group name without the leading domain name. Also make sure that you have "valid users = TTA\sambausers" or something like it in smb.conf.
