Samba apparently does not recognize Linux secondary groups. Samba _will_ let a Windows user (who has a corresponding Linux user account) look into a directory that is accessible only by the user's primary group (as you'd expect), but it will _not_ let them look into a directory that is accessible only by the same user's secondary group, even though the same user can access the directory from within a Linux shell (i.e., they can 'cd' to it).
