My username is foo and primary group is therefore also foo. I am also in the group bar.
Did you logout and login again after adding yourself to the group "bar"? If not do so. Whats the output of id?
I have a directory called "anything" owned by bar:bar. It's permissions are 770. Why can't I traverse it's tree? Doesn't my being in the bar group allow me with the second 7 to traverse anything's tree?
Depends on the permissions of the upper directory. e.g. if the directory is /home/bar/foo_bar and /home/bar is only readable+executable for user bar (read 0700) you are not allowed to enter this directory and so you can't enter any directories below that dir.
