Michael, Did you look in the /etc/passd and /etc/group to see if the user and group were actually placed there. OS-X does not put all the users and groups in /etc files as it does not use them for all its functions. It uses the Net-Info files which are different and not all users and groups that I can created on my OS-X computer are in the passwd and group files.
