Missing Staff Group in Open Directory after User Migration to Lion

Hello fellow brewers,
i recently updated to Lion and migrated my user from a TimeMachine backup.
I read about the problem of loosing membership in the staff (20) group.
This happened to my account too. The problem I'm having is, that while the
/etc/group file lists the staff group an its correct guid, OpenDirectory
seems to be missing it.
Trying to use:
_______________________________________________
sudo dscl . append /Groups/staff GroupMembership `whoami`
yields:
_______________________________________________
append: Invalid Path
<dscl_cmd> DS Error: -14009 (eDSUnknownNodeName)
So the Group is missing from OD. Why is that? Is it save to add it
manually? How do i map it to correspond to the correct guid? Just give it
20 on creation?
Sorry for the amount of question, but I'm sort of stuck.
Grettings,
michael

We recently changed the installer to use the "admin" group instead. I
suggest you do the same. Or reinstall.
