Jared,
You're not using some sort of centralized authentication mechanism, such
as LDAP, NIS+, etc. are you?
Thanks,
Matt

Try grpck, and for good measure pwck.
GRPCK(8) System Management Commands
GRPCK(8)

grpck - verify integrity of group files
Thanks for the suggestions, though that doesn't seem to be the problem.

As I am building a new server, and not a test box, I would like to do it

So far, no luck.
strace of groupadd didn't reveal anything either.
