Can't programatically create a Domain group

Folks,
I have a windows 2k3 server (Euclid) that belongs to a w2k active directory
(BudTest is the server, budtest.com is the domain).
The service I wrote in VB.Net to run on Euclid has to create new groups on
budtest.com.

I copied the code from the microsoft web site:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/adam/adam/creating_groups.asp
The only change I made was to the LDAP address. I was able to do
Children.Find() and get a
response, so I'm pretty sure my LDAP address is right.

When I run it, when the code reaches the objGroup.CommitChanges line, it
throws an exception.
With a little digging, I got "The server is unwilling to process the
request."

My service runs under a domain account. I delegated control of the
appropriat OU to the account, and I even tried adding the account to the
domain administrators. Still nothing.

After google-ing the problem, it seems that the error message is a generic
response from the AD.

I don't suppose anyone can tell me what could be going on that the
off-the-shelf solution would throw errors?

Thanks in advance
