SBS2011 Standard and Remote Desktop Services on 2008 R2

I have SBS2011 Std and 2008R2 Std installed on seperate servers.  I have detailed the setup in this (https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/26897476/Remote-Desktop-Services-in-SBS2011-Environment-GPO-Issues.html) thread.

I solved my problem (maybe???) when I discovered that the Security Groups that couldn't log on were not members of the RDS Server's LOCAL Remote Desktop Users group.  This is rather than (what I expected) the domain Remote Desktop Users group.

Anyway, as detailed in the thread above, I have three Security Groups that I want to use RDS and to have different restrictions apply.  The groups are named RDS Users, StaffRDS and Students.  When I add these groups to the LOCAL Remote Desktop Users group on the RDS Server they can all log on remotely and everything works as it should.  However, after 20 - 30 minutes the StaffRDS and Student groups cannot logon BUT the RDS Users group can.  When I check the LOCAL group on the RDS Server the group RDS Users are still there but the other two groups have disappeared.

Can anyone please tell/suggest me what is going on here???

PS.  I cannot add the Domain Remote Desktop Users group to the local group on the RDS Server.
