When a file has NTFS security the NT account information is used to validate access to that file. In an NTFS qtree all files normally have NTFS security, so that is how the checking is done. Is there any reason you don't want to have the mapped NT accounts as members of the appropriate NT groups which you can then use to set the security?

If you haven't already done so, you might want to refer to this question in the security FAQ:

According to the documentation for ONTAP 5.3, UNIX groups are not used in the mapping from a UNIX identity to a CIFS identity when accessing a NTFS security style qtree. Does anyone happen to know of a way that we can circumvent this problem so that we can have the NTFS qtree recognize and except a UNIX accounts gid.
