Three things come to mind:
- the file system might be mounted read-only (perhaps as a consequence
of errors). Mount -a would give the answer
- the file(s) might have the immutable attribute set. You can find that
out by doing an "lsattr /etc/group*"
- some SELinux policy is playing games on you. On this, I must defer to
more knowledgeable folks
