Oh!  I guess this means it failed and didn't finish setting up, I first
thought it was a warning.

But I ran purge, so the nx group should have been deleted already... was
this step skipped because the nx user was previously deleted?  That's bad,
if nxsetup --uninstall is interrupted between deleting the user and the
group, it shouldn't leave things a state where
nxsetup --install --clean --purge won't work.
