I occasionally get caught by this. By far the easiest way to self-
diagnose is to use the "groups" command. It will tell you which
groups your current shell (session) has you listed in.

If you spawn (fork) a new shell (eg. execute /bin/sh or log in on
another terminal etc.) you may find your "groups" in the new shell
is now up to date (saves logging out and back in again).
