Security enabled mail groups are not working

I have a NetApp unit:

Booted primary firmware version 2.2.2P2
Booted primary ACP version 01.21
Primary firmware version 2.2.2P2
Primary ACP version 01.21
Backup firmware version 2.2.2P2
Backup ACP version 01.21

Model:

FAS2520

System ID:

0xxxxxxxx

Version:

NetApp Release 8.2.2 7-Mode

Uptime:

98 days 5 hours 38 minutes

Compliance Clock Time:

I have setup a qtree as a share. The unit has joined AD and uses domain authentication. I had built 2 security groups. One an AD group and one a Security-enabled Mail Group. The first is maintained by the corporation, the second by us.

The first works fine. The second can be added, but security doesn't work from it. I tried to setup the Security Mail Group as share permissions level. It seems to be ignored

Example, putting a user in that group, removing permission for 'everyone' results in 'access denied'. Putting the user in the permissions directly works fine

The group is defines as a 'Universal' group, with it's AD string shown here (sections redacted):

dn:CN=MG-MDT-BMC-SHARE,OU=Distribution,OU=GROUPS,DC=domain,DC=ads,DC=company,DC=com

>groupType: -2147483640 [UNIVERSAL(8);SECURITY(2147483xxx)]

The question is why will it not work?
