Add new owner to SafeGuard 7 for Mac

I have successfully bound a MacBook Pro running Yosemite to our Active Directory Network. I created a user in AD called "Mac User" and logged into the Mac using this Network ID. I successfully installed Safeguard and it correctly talks to the SafeGuard Management Server.

So far so good. This is big progress.

When I reboot, the FileVault pre-boot environment comes up with MacUser as the only user who can log in.

If I add myself - another user in AD - as the new owner in Safeguard Management and save the DB and sync the macbook and I reboot, the user MacUser is STILL the only user that can login to the Filevault pre-boot environment.

This is something that works on Windows 7 much more cleanly. Otherwise, the only way to install Safeguard on a Mac is to make sure you are using the account for the person the machine belongs to. We're supposed to have more flexibility than that.

Suggestions?

Thanks.

Status update. After the disk was finished encrypting and I rebooted, the Pre-boot authentication expanded to include Mac User and two local non-network accounts: "admin" and "it staff."
They now show up as users on the SG Mgmt Console as "adopted users"
But the assigned owner of the machine still does not show up.
