Subject: Permissions and Groups problem

It seems like I write about permissions a lot, but it's a real issue, here.
Netatalk is not recognizing any user as being a part of any group other than
the one it was created as, from what I can see. I'm apparently not finding
something that needs to be changed, but what? Doesn't the authentication
still run from the system? I''m running ...asun2.1.3-7 and Redhat Linux 6.2,
with shadow PW and PAM installed.
Authentication is working great, and logins are all working like they're
supposed to. I'm still not getting afpd authentications logged in messages,
or anywhere else I can find.
The real problem is if I change a user's default group, netatalk *only*, not
the rest of the system, doesn't recognize it, no matter how many times I
start and stop the server, reboot the machine, or check ownership of
everything. It's like netatalk is keeping its own passwd file, but I
certainly wouldn't know where. I've looked at all passwd, group, and *shadow
files and they all reflect the change to the user, but netatalk refuses to.
So the user continues under the same group as before. Folders only viewable
by group1 are being viewed by a user that only has setting to group2.
I would appreciate any help or insight into this matter.
Graciously,
