I've tried what you suggested and have the same error I added the user to the mygroup group by using the System->Administration->Users and Groups menu
I have however noticed that the id command does not list mygroup as one of the groups I am part of and that a adduser command just after that reports that I'm already in the group [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ id uid=1000(koen) gid=1000(koen) groups=4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),25(floppy),29(audio),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),104(scanner),108(lpadmin),110(admin),115(netdev),117(powerdev),1000(koen) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo adduser koen mygroup The user `koen' is already a member of `mygroup'.
