Great.

That is because your su throws away the secondary groups:

> infinity(49)>id
> uid=5879(nneul) gid=5000(afsuser) groups=33536,32512,5000(afsuser)
> infinity(50)>su -

> [root@infinity /root]# id
> uid=0(root) gid=0(root)
> groups=0(root),1(bin),2(daemon),3(sys),4(adm),6(disk),10(wheel)

Here, the 33536,32512 has been thrown away, and therefore you are
assumed to be in the default PAG.

If you use the kth-krb kerberos distribution, your klist is able to do
this (klist -T).
