Excuse the flow of this message... while writing it, I was continuing my
debugging of the problem.

My grplist information appears to have been propogated within the
credentials file, but it seems to not have properly dealt with Hesiod.
The last entry in critical.log is dated Jun 26.
The grplist.db file on the Moira server appears to be correct.
The grplist.db file on all the Hesiod servers appears to be correct.
suomi# grep probe /site/nameserver/grplist.db

The only difference in my grplist information is that apparently I have
been added to group "bjaspan" (it appears that he reversed the arguments
to blanche when trying to add himself to sipb-soc).
The name servers are acting inconsistently, as well:
I cannot extract any grplist information for anyone in a lot of groups
when talking to clio (jis,probe,epeisach,vanharen,carla), but I can
extract smaller grplist info (dskern,tem,csmoore,aida,bwmelans,salemme).
One more point of interest... during most of the queries I simply got
the answer returned (I was using nslookup). However, this one seems to
be different:
> dskern.grplist
Server: clio.mit.edu
Address: 18.63.0.7
Non-authoritative answer:
dskern.grplist.ns.athena.mit.edu text = "dskern:17447:assassins-guild:20707:patrol-players:20713:probehak:9598:a_staff:64:mapledemo:16901:nero:17028:darford:15669:deathsquad:20724:Norbert:20470:jdbaker:17730:tomcat:17458:source-access:15628:asylum-gms:20313:watchmkr:509"
Authoritative answers can be found from:
grplist.NS.ATHENA.mit.edu nameserver = apollo.mit.edu
grplist.NS.ATHENA.mit.edu nameserver = suomi.mit.edu
apollo.mit.edu internet address = 18.80.0.10
suomi.mit.edu internet address = 18.72.1.31
Earlier when I tried resolving my grplist information against apollo it
didn't work. Now, it seems to... Note the output; this may be a buggy
version of nslookup (in net-tools), or it may be part of the problem:
> probe.grplist
Server: apollo.mit.edu
Address: 18.80.0.10
probe.grplist.ns.athena.mit.edu text = "assassins-guild:20707:patrol-players:20713:builders:248:nfssrc:951:gsipb:15001:third_east:15656:lnf:14665:info:10926:operations-info:10927:propgrp:797:tiger-team:16091:gdroogs:844:pooky:10368:ps2dev:13237:mapledemo:16901:darford:15669:watchmkr:509:clhread:15011:x11r4:13218:ultrix:950:xsrc:12665:rfc:12641:probehak:9598:windowmgr:13192:source-maintain:16503:a_staff:64:c++-src-read:17325:quality:967:ps2src:20056:gmoira:8838:source-access:15628:bjas.<"

Is there a chance that the recursion is not working properly between
clio and apollo? After all, the request is being transformed into an
UNSPECA lookup by clio, and then it will have to be turned back into a
TXT reply. However, note that the errors returned are different (I have
the largest grplist info).
