That did it. Thanks for pointing out the obvious.
For those coming after me. Create a group with the same name as the
user. Add the posixgroup to that groups Objectclass. Fill in the
gidnumber with the same gid number you used when you created the user.
Now it shows up as expected when I list the directory and I get no
error on changing to that user.
One last question on this topic. Is there a way to get that show up
in the form that you create the group from? It would be nice not to
have to do that for each user group that you create.
That being said I will probably just create a large ldif file will all
my user and group information. Is this the place just to import it
set up correctly so that I don't waste my time trying to tweak the
form?
Thanks again!

I suppose anyone comfortable enough with Java could add a page for
groups similar the to page for users which offers to create a Posix user
and then submit it to the development team for consideration. In my
case, I bent the rules a little bit and added the posixgroup objectclass
to my users to account for the user group. That may come back to bite
me.
I might also add there is a small problem in the KDE environment where
Konqueror does not query LDAP for groups. One of the developers was
kind enough to write a patch for me so KDE 3.5 behaved properly and the
patch is being included in the next update for KDE 4.x I believe. Take
care - John
