strange pw behaviour

[Jonas Sonntag]

Hi list,

must ask again... I'm still stuck with this. It's pretty weird. I have 10 
directories each owned by a unique group. All 10 directories are set 750.
The groups have been added using pw and user www has been made a member of 
every group by using pw. This has worked a hundred times. Information is 
correct in /etc/group.

When I open a session as user www by using su and try to list those 10 
directories by using 'ls -l *' I get 6 times the directory contents and 4 
times 'Permission denied'. ...All directories are 750 and user www is a 
member of all groups...

Looking at 'strings /usr/sbin/pw' I see four CVS tags, the newest three years 
old. So i don't suspect a bug there.
Now what could cause behaviour like this? Where should I keep looking for the 
problem?
Please see the original post too. It seems I'm either missing something here 
or something is very broken with my jails.
