This mismatching may happen after a system has been upgraded, or if you have restored one from backup or migrated it from another system, and generally lies in how the permissions in the filesystem are stored rather than there being a problem with the system's directory setup. If a username or group is missing, then the system should display something like "unknown" for the respective permissions, but may also continually search for a match and display "Fetching." while this is under way. The information window for files may show "Fetching." when group names cannot be resolved. There also may be a situation where a user-specific group (i.e., one that is the same name as the current user account) is being used as the default group for a file. In OS X, permissions work by user and group identification numbers being associated with files in the filesystem index, and when you access the file the system looks up these identification numbers in the system directory (the user and group database). This situation may happen because the system cannot properly identify the group that is associated with the file. The items in this list are generally the username of the file's owner, the primary group associated with the owner, and then an "everyone" group however, there may be situations where the system will not display a group, and instead will show a persistent "Fetching." notification. If you get information on files and folders in the OS X Finder you will see the access permissions for the items listed at the bottom of the information window.
