The group shows instead of the GID, meaning the group is most definitely on
your PC.  You may want to check/change your primary group for dale.  You can
do this with:

usermod -g users dale

Then update the permissions on the files:

chown -vR dale:users/home/dale/*

You may want to backup your home directory first.
