I dunno what I'm missing here, but I can't get permissions working on a
directory.
Here is the ls listing for it:

drwxrwx--- 2 www-data www-data 8.0k Jan 4 18:56 digicam

and here is the relevant line from /etc/group (for the www-data group):

www-data:x:33:aejm1

When I attempt to access this directory as aejm1, I get:

aejm1@mars:/data2$ cd digicam/
bash: cd: digicam/: Permission denied

What's wrong here?

Did you add aejm1 to the group and then try to cd, without logging in again?
