(are these becoming more lately?)

The problem was not that the user was not in the appropriate group
(admingroup) but that for some reason, his credential hasnt been updated in a
while; for some reason the groups are also stored within the "cred" table so
the entry for the admin group was missing there. nisclient -co <username>
solved this.
