The group was created before the server was setup to auth from the 
Active Directory server, and it is a group I have created not a system 
group, it is so users can access a dir to run some bespoke software. So 
perhaps I will try to add the user to /etc/group and see if that 
works... I would move it to AD but I feel that might cause further 
problems with GID's etc?

TIA
