Sharepoint Site Owner cannot add members to a group

Hello. A co-worker and I are working with Sharepoint 2007 and have created a sub-site. The sub-site does not inherit permissions from the parent site because only certain people are supposed to be able to view it. My co-worker and I are both members of the Site Owners group which has Full Permissions. My co-worker created a new group and can add members to that group but I cannot. She is the group owner. Only one person can be a group owner. Does this mean only my co-worker can add users to this group? Shouldn't I be able to add users to the group she created since I am a member of the Site Owners group which has full permissions to the site?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Thanks Ach1lles. We actually figured that out on Friday night thanks to a previous Experts Exchange member asking the same thing. That's exactly what happened. My co-worker created a new group and by default it put her name as the group owner instead of the Site Owners group name. Simple problem....big headache!. Thanks again.
