Your "group_compat" and "passwd_compat" lines will never be used.
The original poster will need to use an nsswitch.conf that either (a)
has no "group" or "passwd" lines, or (b) has the following:

   group: compat
   group_compat: nis
   passwd: compat
   passwd_compat: nis

Also see nsswitch.conf(5).
