This is the key here: you are logged in, as a domain user, to a member machine.

Why would you expect it to?  The groups that are local to Supervisor are 
(oddly enough) local to Supervisor.  Only global groups are available to 
member machines (in addition to their own local groups).

I don't think it is possible.  I belive the GUI is actually logging in to the
PDC's Registry and can hence see the local groups on the PDC.
