Nested AD User Groups in Workgroup Manager not working in Mavericks

Question

The setup is the traditional Golden Triangle, so Active Directory for users and groups, Open Directory for Managed Preferences. Both Apple clients and server are running 10.9.0
While I can successfully manage the Mac's via OD computer groups, the OD user groups with nested AD groups no longer appear to work. If I nest an AD user it works fine, but not the AD users group.
This is a new AD and new OD, no migrations. This is a setup I've done countless times over the years, but since Mavericks has been introduced, I can no longer make this work.
Any help would be greatly appreaciated.
Thanks,
Alex Price

Hello
I have been having the same problem, when adding an AD Group to an OD group the users in the AD group are not managed, but if i add the user to the OD group it works fine, (with about 5000 active users this is not an option) this has been a problem with 10.9 and has not been fixed with 10.9.1, i assume we need a update to Workgroup manager?
Maverick server is useless at the moment, cant upgrade the clients to Maverick if i cant manage them, are Apple just tring to make my job more difficult than it needs to be, i was happy that they provided Workgroup Manager for Mavericks because Profile Manager is simple not an option, but it would be good if it worked properly, its not a small problem so you would think apple would make it a priority.
