Thanks for responding!  It seems like DNS might be where the wrong
kerberos domain is coming from.  Is your test client in the same domain
as your kerberos realm?  My clients aren't, and the subdomain they're
in is what is sent in the NFS requests.

I was able to test this by preferring files for hosts in nsswitch.conf
and overriding the host's name in /etc/hosts.  Normally the host is
under unx.csupomona.edu.  Moving the host to csupomona.edu in hosts
(and rebooting) causes chgrp to start working.  When I revert the
nsswitch and hosts changes chgrp keeps working until another reboot.

I hope this helps you reproduce this issue.  Let me know if there is
any other information you need.
