Here's an example of me creating a shared folder for (non-default) 
domain tranquillo.net and giving access permissions to the user 
rabbitt at tranquillo.net (previously created):

note: below you can see that the user 
rabbitt at tranquillo.net already exists:
--------------------------------------
mail.nioka.org> lm *rabbitt at tranquillo.net
user/rabbitt at tranquillo.net (\HasNoChildren)

note: now I create the shared folder called
'shared' for the domain, 'tranquillo.net'
--------------------------------------
mail.nioka.org> cm shared at tranquillo.net

note: now I check it to make sure it's there.
notice how it doesn't say 'user/' in front of 
it like the user rabbitt at tranquillo.net does.
This means it's a shared folder - although, 
depending on you're settings, it could (although, 
I'm not positive) actually show something like
share/shared at tranquillo.net - sidenote: My 
sharedprefix is set to 'share' in imapd.conf.
--------------------------------------
mail.nioka.org> lm shared at tranquillo.net
shared at tranquillo.net (\HasNoChildren)

note: now I give permission for rabbitt at tranquillo.net
to read from the shared folder. notice the syntax for a 
-non- default domain:
sam <folder at domainXYZ.tld> <user at domainXYZ.tld> <perms>
--------------------------------------
mail.nioka.org> sam shared at tranquillo.net rabbitt at tranquillo.net read

note: now I check to make sure that rabbitt at tranquillo.net
has the rights I set for it:
--------------------------------------
mail.nioka.org> lam shared at tranquillo.net
rabbitt at tranquillo.net lrs
anyone lrs


w00t - it worked :)

ok, now specifically regarding your situation where you are using groups, I 
haven't really played with that but, I would suspect that it would definitely 
-not- work if the users in the group are not of the same domain. However, 
according to your example they are.  Considering I haven't used groups in 
acl's as of yet, I'll have to bow out of explaining that one :|

Good luck :)
