I can't get any form of permissions to work in FreeNAS. I've tried countless configurations and the only consistent way to access shares is by signing on as the root account. At first I tried to connect FreeNAS to Active Directory. It connects and looks to be ok, but users and groups don't show up in the drop downs to assign permissions. Ran wbinfo -u -g -t from the cli and it sees everything. So I did research online and tried every trick I could find including setting the permissions from the cli. Every time I try to set the permissions from the cli I get an illegal group name message. Finally I scrapped Active Directory and decided to try creating users and groups from within FreeNAS. I followed a number of tutorials I found to get this to work and had the best luck with this one.

After following these instructions I was able to get one user to log in, but none of the others. The one user that could was the first user I created. At this point I'm at a loss as to what to do and I need this system running by the weekend. My end goal is I need a system that my servers can backup to. These servers need to stay connected to the NAS server so the backup software can automatically backup to it without having to log in. Can any of you geniuses help me?
My System Specs:
FreeNAS 9.1.0 Stable Release
HP DL380 Gen 4
2 Intel Xeon 3.4 GHz Duel Core processors
8 GB RAM (4 x 2 GB)
Currently there are 4 x 73 GB hard drives in a RaidZ ZFS volume.
When I go live it will have 4 x 2 TB hard drives in a RaidZ ZFS volume.
The machines that I'm using to test the connection are a Windows XP and Windows 2003 Server. When I go live I'll be connecting from Windows XP, Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2003 Server, and Windows 2008 Server. My domain controller running Active Directory is a Windows 2000 Server.
