Adding User groups Wont work

Hello,
We are using reporting services for about 6 months now and granting
access to windows users works great. I cant seem to get user groups to
work however. I am not a expert on windows users/groups so I dont
really know what to check.
Say for example we have a user group called "Activations" I type the
name and it enters correctly, and shows the group has access to a
report. Then if I look at the group in MS Outlook and see what users a
Group has it shows me the users. But if they try and access the report
they get a error saying they dont have access. Only way I can get it to
work is by adding the usernames one-by-one.
Ona a side note the group "Everyone" seems to work fine. Has anyone
else had any problems or know what I could check.
Thanks,
EddieI should also say that the user groups I want to add are domain user
groups - not local. But wouldnt RS be able to user domain user groups?

I have several domain groups plus some individual users and what I have done
is added a local group (like Reports) to this local group I add the
individual users and the domain groups. Then I assign this local group to
the Browser role.
