i was wondering how i can setup group polices so that
depending on what global group someone is a member of
they automatically get map to drives that correspond
to that global group
 
We use a product called ScriptLogic to automate all of that here. If you're a decent scripter, you can write a login script using Windows Scripting Host to accomplish what you want.
 
Just make 1 GPO per group, scope the GPO to the global group, and have a tiny batch script that net use's the drive you want.

Another option as long as the file server is Win2k3 SP1 is to use ABEUI (Access-based Enumeration). Get it from MS here. All users map the same fileshare. Once the user maps the drive on login they will only be able to see the folders on that share that they have permissions to see. It's a simple checkbox on a file share and for whatever reason wasn't part of Win2k3 (or Win2k for that matter). You need Win2k3 SP1 for this to work.
