I have a machine that formerly had a monitor, then didn't have one for
a while, during which time I used a serial console and rebuilt
-current kernels a few times.  When I got the monitor back, I couldn't
start X, and got the same message you're seeing.

It seemed to "fix itself" when I supped and rebuilt my kernel and
userland, on July 21.  Perhaps a bug was fixed around that time -- the
snapshot kernel on ftp.netbsd.org is dated the 22nd, but may be from
earlier sources.

Are you sure the /etc/groups entry is formatted properly?

What output do you get when you use the "groups" command?
