How recently did you add yourself to the group?  If you haven't logged
out and back in (note that e.g. restarting your xterm is not enough,
you need to re-authenticate) then you might not have the relevant
group access.

You can quickly check by seeing that `id` and `id steve` give the same
set of groups.
