To check whether principals and group memberships are setup properly, use a 
browser and view the /principals hierarchy there. When you click on a 
principal the server will generate an HTML page with some (really) useful 
information on it. So check that your groups do appear under /principals 
and that their membership looks right. Also check the regular principals 
that are members of a group to verify they show themselves as belonging to 
it.

If the principal all look OK, then next thing to check is the ACLs on the 
resources you are trying to access. For that you may need to probe with a 
WebDAV client that allows you to inspect the ACL property (you will likely 
need to do that as the admin user).
