rcleartool fails with no permission

I used rcleartool with no problem until yesterday.

In today, "write" commands fail with permission error. I do not change any configuration. I don't know whether CM server changed or not.

some examples when I encounter problem

cmd> rcleartool mkelem -nc {file path}

(some output)

ClearCase CM Server: Error: Can't create object with group (XXXX\Domain Users) 
that is not in the VOB's group list.

ClearCase CM Server: Error: Must be one of: element owner, VOB owner, member of ClearCase group

This is usually:

• because the current DOS session for this rcleartool command doesn't have the right CLEARCASE_PRIMARY_GROUP fixed anymore
• or because of some permission issue on the parent directory where this add to source control (mkelem) takes place.

I would seriously check the first possibility, as it fits the Primary Group requirements for element creation and is found in other cleartool commands like multitool.

Note about mkelem:

The mkelem command has different Primary Group requirements on Windows and UNIX/Linux.

• UNIX/Linux:
  In order to create an element in a VOB, your Primary Group must match a group in the VOB's group list.
• WINDOWS:
  As long as you "are a member of" a group in the VOB's group list and the parent directory where the element will be created is owned by the group to which you are a member, you will be able to create elements in the VOB.

If, however, you are a member of more than one of the VOB's groups, the CLEARCASE_PRIMARY_GROUP will need to be set to one of these.
See technote 1135509 for more information about the CLEARCASE_PRIMARY_GROUP variable.

user972301 refers in the comments to "Primary Group requirements for element creation"

I get the same error with cleartool but under Linux when I try to do an mkelem in a snapshot view of a child development stream whose parent is located on a different PVOB than what I usually work wit

One needs to change his local machine's group ownership to match the PVOB's
