James,
You are correct--I don't have windbind nested groups = yes set in my
smb.conf. Yes, default 3.0.22. I followed the Ubuntu configuration
instructions to the letter found in the Ubuntu forums that I've posted
before with only the changes you've seen in my smb.conf. Here is the
link to the forum post:

If you have a machine you can throw together as a test machine, fire it
up as a stock install and follow these instructions to the letter (if
you didn't on your production box) and see if you have any success.
Here's where the rubber meets the road. If your test machine correctly
nests permissions, then there is something wrong with your production
config. If it doesn't, then you have something going on in Active Directory.
One more thing--I'm using POSIX ACLs for permissions. Are you?

There is an option in smb.conf called "winbind nested groups" ... and
the help text from swat says:
"winbind nested groups (G)
If set to yes, this parameter activates the support for nested
groups. Nested groups are also called local groups or aliases. They
work like their counterparts in Windows: Nested groups are defined
locally on any machine (they are shared between DC's through their
SAM) and can contain users and global groups from any trusted SAM. To
be able to use nested groups, you need to run nss_winbind.
Please note that per 3.0.3 this is a new feature, so handle with
care.
Default: winbind nested groups = no"
So I'm guessing that you want to set winbind nested groups = yes in
your smb.conf.

I've put the "winbind nested groups = yes" in the global section of my
samba.conf. (Sorry, I did go over the swat help text, I must have
missed this). I went ahead and rebooted the server and tried it again,
but it's still a no-go.
Aaron, in the smb.conf you showed me, you did not have "winbind nested
groups = yes" ?!? I don't remember if you've told me, but are you using
the default Samba 3.0.22 that comes with Ubuntu 6.06?
Could there be something wrong with my Winbind setup? Something that
has to do with nss_winbind maybe? Is there any way I can test this from
the Samba server, using wbinfo maybe?
