Hmm.... Well it has been a while since I looked at it but all I did to
create the bug was use the GUI user-admin too to reassign a user to a
group. I noticed after that that directories the users should have had
access to they did not. Further investigation showed that they were not in
the groups I'd put them in and I had to reset root's password to be able to
run sudo to fix things.
