Roaming profiles and local shared folders

I have created a test roaming profile on our server and everything is working great except for a few shared folders
I have two groups that work with two specific folders group a and b work for alpha share access to run the alpha application and bravo folder to access the bravo files

anyways I assigned these groups to the roaming profile the same as I would and ordinary profile and I can not access and of the files and can not access the folders to install the apps

If I assign the user to the folders directly and assign the permissions everything works

I do not want to have to assign every one of these profiles thier own permissions is thier anything I can do to get these groups working

Thanks

I have already created the Roaming profiles as stated by kshays

the problem I am having is with netowrk shares that are accessed by normal profiles users on the network

when I add the roaming profiles to the groups that allow access to these shares the profiles can not access the folders

when i explicitly add the username to the ffolders security and permissios tab and allow them acceess they can get it

my question is why this is and how to set it right I will have to attempt to set up a new group like Netman66 says and

see if that takes care of this

Unlike the regular users i had to create a new security group and give it permission to both folders which worked the regular users use the two security groups and do not have any problems

Thanks guys
