Hi Craig

It looks like what your are doing is corrrect, but sometimes you can get
caught out by the syntax of the string for the role you are testing for.
When you are looking for a domain based group membership, you need to use a
capitalised identity for the domain name. For example: @"MYDOMAIN\mygroup"

The text and case have to be identicle since the comparisson is done via a
hashtable and different cases in the test string will result in different
hash values.
