Not sure if this was your problem, but since you said you were in the
games group to start with... Note that after adding your user to any
group, you need to log out and back in for that change to take affect.
Existing sessions don't detect it. If you don't want to re-log in,
you can "sg games" to open a new shell in the games group, or probably
su -l to yourself as suggested.
Cheers,
Bryan
