What does the /etc/groups file look like?

Regarding making sure the groups work, checking the passwd-grp.sh.done
file, it doesn't seem to do anything if /etc/groups exist, so try to
run 
    /bin/mkgroup -d > /etc/group

by yourself, maybe check the output first.. ;-) Then throw an eye or
two on the passwd file and group file and see if they seem healthy.
