Help with Setting up Permissions with Survival Games

I have everything for the SurvivalGames plugin, it's all set up except the permissions.
I am using Essentials GroupManager and type
/mangaddp admin sg.arena.join. it says The group already has direct access to that permission
Node: null
Here's the perms for it http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/survival-games/pages/setup/reference/

Code:

Player Permissions:
 
sg.arena.join.# - Allows the user to join a certain arena
sg.arena.join.* - Allows the user to join all arenas
sg.arena.vote - Allows the user to vote to start (/sg vote)
sg.arena.spectate - Allows a user to spectate a game
sg.lobby.join - Allows the use of /sg join to join the lobby
Staff Permissions:
 
sg.arena.forcestart - Allows the user to Start Sg (/sg start)
sg.arena.disable - Allows the user to disable an arena
sg.arena.enable - Allows the user to enable an arena
sg.arena.nocmdblock - Allows user to bypass ingame cmd block
Admin Permissions:
 
sg.arena.create - Allows the user to create an arena
sg.arena.setspawn - Allows user to set spawns
sg.arena.resetspawns - Allows the user to reset all spawnpoints
sg.arena.delete - Allows a user to delete an arena
sg.lobby.set - Allows the user to set the lobby spawn and wall

I don't get why my friend can't join.

it says node: null? how old is your groupmanager version? that error was fixed ages ago.
also, give sg.arena.join.* aswell.

You had a few .s after nodes.

Got the dev versions of both. Still nothing. I added every single permission there is to join. Nothing.

What do you mean?

This group already has direct access to that permission Node:*
You added 'sg.arena.join.*' to group 'Admin' permissions.

dont tag me 3 times. 1 time is enough.
also, your friend is in admin group?

 

Sorry, this has been bothering me all night. I am the owner just testing it out the admins permissions.

 

as owner, are you able to join the arena games? if not, paste startup log please.

I don't know how far that goes back though.
Come on the server please?
178.63.87.13:25575

 

dont do /reload, either /manload for GM changes or restart server.

I have restarted multiple times, just did it again and nothing.

 

i dont see any issues on the file nor cant replicate any error local. survivalgames doesnt exactly update permissions correctly on some versions, i suggest you should contact the survivalgames developer.
