One user in our environment is unable to cd into a directory they have group access to. Even as I su into their account, still get permission denied.

[jdoe@server1 scratch]$ id
uid=79029(jdoe) gid=48(group1) groups=48(group1),20(group2),49(group3),51(group4),52(group5)
[jdoe@server1 scratch]$ ls -l
total 4
drwxrws--- 38 root group3 4096 Sep 17 16:18 dev
[jdoe@server1 scratch]$ cd dev/
dev/: Permission denied.
[jdoe@server1 scratch]$ getfacl dev/
# file: dev/
# owner: group3
# group: group3
# flags: -s-
user::rwx
group::rwx
other::---

[jdoe@server1 scratch]$

I feel like I'm missing something here. One way for the user to get into the directory is using the "newgrp" command switching their default group.

[jdoe@server1 scratch]$ newgrp stxlib
[jdoe@server1 scratch]$ id
uid=79029(jdoe) gid=49(group3) groups=49(group3),20(group2),48(group1),51(group4),52(group5)
[jdoe@server1 scratch]$ cd dev/
[jdoe@server1 scratch]$

Other background information is that this is part of an automounter from a legacy YP NIS environment. But again, only one user in the entire environment is facing this issue.
