That's very strange that you can't access /dev/null.  Are you on a host
where /dev/null doesn't exist?  That would explain the problem.

If not, what happens when you try the following on your host?
Here's a transcript on one of my hosts.

$ /bin/sh
$ groups=${FETISH_GROUPS-`(id -nG || /usr/xpg4/bin/id -nG) 2>/dev/null`}
$ echo "$groups"
