Over the weekend we used XCOPY to copy our NT4.0 server folder structure to a new 2k file server but some of the groups now can't access some of the subfolders. Its they the subfolders are not shared for them to use. We have users with a group called Managers who have permissions to access one of these subfolders. They show with those perms on the server but if I try to add them again that group does not show in the list of groups/users selectable from the 2k server.

It sounds like you're talking about a local group. This would need to be recreated on the 2k server.

Are these servers part of a domain?
Are either of these domain controllers?

Note for next time: Use SCOPY (resource kit) instead of XCOPY it copies the file permissions with the files, takes longer but worth it.

If you are using a domain then you may have as the previous answer stated, local groups, but if you are not using local groups, hmmm tricky one.

If you are not using a domain, then you are using local groups and the group does not exist on the 2k server. Create the group and assign permissions
