Problem with User Roles and Active Directory groups

J

I am having a problem transitioning a form that works in InfoPath 2003
into InfoPath 2007. The form uses the User Roles which were set up
with Active Directory groups. For example:

Role: Admin
User Assignment: THCG\TAMANS-EFORM-ADMIN

Role: Asset Manager
User Assignment: THCG\TAMANS-EFORM-ASSET-MGR

I also have the roles "Menu" as the Initiator and "Employee" as the
default role.

Using conditional formatting, certain roles can see and/or edit
particular fields while other roles can not. New forms are submitted
under the role "Menu", and when the submitted document is opened in
InfoPath 2003, the current user is identified as belonging to the
correct AD Group. This role is visible in the lower right hand corner
of the screen. When someone in the AD Group THCG\TAMANS-EFORM-ADMIN
opens the form, they are identified as having the role "Admin".

When the same submitted form is opened in InfoPath 2007, all users are
placed in the default "Employee" role rather than in the appropriate
role. The role is listed in the lower right corner.

On the chance that the problem was moving from 2003 to 2007, I have
created the identical form in InfoPath 2007, using the exact role
assignments, and the AD Groups are still not recognized.

If I add a users AD ID in addition to the AD Groups in the User
assignments, the form now recognizes the user as part of the correct
user role.

Is anyone aware of a reason that InfoPath 2007 would not recognize
Active Directory Groups? Or what needs to be changed so that InfoPath
2007 will recognize AD Groups?
