It's not supposed to work: see the bottom of this page:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/secauthz/security/sid_strings.asp?frame=true&hidetoc=true

The funky little tokens are not valid for this purpose.

I have spent a bunch of time digging into ADVAPI32 on my Win32 platform, and
I cannot see why it's not working. The "DU" token is found in the code, but
it's not clear why it fails.

I hope somebody else has some ideas...
