If you experienced the same issue I did, might be for the same reason.
I recently re-entered all the admins in the user.ini file.
In doing so, I also make a mistake in the format - for every single one.
Which is why, although it said it was successfully parsing all the admins in the file, nobody was actually getting privs.

My issue basically was do to me accidentally omitting the password field, in my case since I don't use it (does anybody any more since Steam?). But, if you don't use it, you have to have it there with no content - empty double-quotes basically.

Incorrect entry in my users.ini:
"STEAM_0:1:155" "abcdefghijklmnopqrstu" "ce" ; http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197960266039 Weasel

In my case, I now include a comment at the end (after the semicolon) to allow me to quickly find a users Steam profile (via their non-user-changeable SteamID64 link) and their most recent screen name. Of course, AMX-Mod-X doesn't parse any of that, it just ignores the semicolon and everything after it on that line. It's just for my reference.

Hop this helps, in case you hit the same issue (self-inflected) that I did. The symptoms seem the same!
