Can't see groups?

For some reason my F16 system is not recognizing the groups that I'm in:
jik2:~!1016$ whoami
jik
jik2:~!1017$ groups
jik
jik2:~!1018$ groups jik
jik : jik
jik2:~!1019$ grep -w jik /etc/group
jackuser:x:488:jik
jik:x:3009:
build:x:3010:jik
boinc:x:462:jik
vboxusers:x:3038:jik
wireshark:x:453:jik
jik2:~!1020$
This is not just the "groups" command malfunctioning; I am indeed unable
to do things which I should be able to do as a member of the "vboxusers"
group:
jik2:~!1020$ mkdir /tmp/test
jik2:~!1021$ sudo chown root.vboxusers /tmp/test
[sudo] password for jik:
jik2:~!1022$ sudo chmod 770 /tmp/test
jik2:~!1023$ touch /tmp/test/write-test
touch: cannot touch `/tmp/test/write-test': Permission denied
jik2:~!1024$
I have selinux disabled.
Any suggestions for what's going on here and how to fix it would be very
much appreciated. It is causing problems for me.
Thanks,
Jonathan Kamens
