Samba3 + WinXP problem

[E K]

Are you able to see the domain groups from the Windows machine? Probably windows is only able to see the domain users and not the domain groups. In that case, the user that you refer will not be recognized as a member of the administrator group and hence your problem.

Which version of samba?  I know many of the more recent versions solved
a lot of problems with versions of XP.  At least that is what the
release notes/changelogs say.
