Did you run the 5.5 Public Store IS/DS consistency checker? On Exchange
2003 if a public folder permission ACE can't be resolved to an object in the
Active directory the ACE is ignored on the ACL list and that person/group
will get the default permissions for the folder. Look at this KB:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;328287&Product=exch2003

Are the groups that are used in the Public Folder ACLs being upgraded to
Universal Security Groups by the Store? Check a groups whose permissions
are not working and see what kind of group it is in Active Directory Users
and Computers. The store should be upgrading the Universal Distribution
groups to Universal Security Groups to be used as permissioning objects
(this happens when someone access the public folder). The store can only
upgrade the group if the group resides in a Windows 2000 Native Domain (or
Windows 2003 Native Domain).

Does this help?
