------------------------------------------------

> Is this a bug in hadoop?

Currently, "groups" is required external command for Hadoop.  So, this is not a 
bug.  See also the [User 
Identity|http://hadoop.apache.org/core/docs/r0.18.1/hdfs_permissions_guide.html]
 section in the Permissions User and Administrator Guide.
