What's going on with directory security

All,

I've seen this before, but I don't know what to check.

I created a directory on a windows 2000 server. The directory is
called
Accounting, and a group was assigned security rights to the directory
"accounting group"

Everyone in the accounting group can open the directory with no
problems.

A new employee starts and is added to the "accounting group"
This new employee cannot open the Accounting directory, they get an
Access Denined message.

Why is this occuring? The previous person working on the same machine
that the new employee now works on, could access the Accounting
directory with no problems.

I really don't want to add "everyone" to the security for the
directory in question. So far that's the only way this individual can
work.

This person workstation is Win 2k pro sp3


Thanks.
 
First guess (so forgive me if you've already tried it)

1. Is the new user a member of any other group that has been denied
permissions to the ~\ACCTG directory? (I'm thinking of something really
all-encompassing like 'Domain Users' or something, since new users are added
to that group by default.)

2. Workstation restrictions?
 
Laura's questions are on target but on the off chance that the group wasn't
in the user's token, I'll add these questions:
Was the user logged on before being added to the group? Has there been
logoff/logon since then?
