With the help from someone on the OS X servers list I have it figured
out. You need to go to the Computers Groups tab and look at
the members section. At that point there is a button with a "..."
label that if clicked on let's you browse the network and add members.
Somehow it just wasn't as obvious as it was in 10.4.
