The most likely reason is that how your system expects the groups to be 
set up (i.e, a list of usernames vs. a list of DNs, the objectClass to 
consider a Unix a group, etc.) does not match what your data actually 
looks like.

Without any data about how you've got things configured on the client 
and in the LDAp database, though, it's pretty hard to say where that 
disconnect might be.
