Have you tried going into /etc/groups and DELETING the users after
users:*:1001:john1, john2 etc..
delete the users john1, john2 etc.. sicne they are already added they dont
neeed to be in the groups file sicne they already have the GID of users in
the password file.

So delete the users in the groups file and your set and good to go.
