Do you have anything like SELinux or AppArmour enabled?

Do you have nscd running on the box?  [did you restart nscd after the
change of group membership]

If you run "id" in that session/terminal do you see yourself as a member
of the group?

If you run "bash --login" and then try again does it work?
