[AccessD] Count problem in query

When I execute the following query it returns 341 records.

SELECT DISTINCT [tbl Status During Prior Month].PID
FROM [tbl Status During Prior Month]
WHERE ((([tbl Status During Prior Month].Status) In ("RP","RM","RH","SP","SM","SH","PL","PM","PH")))
GROUP BY [tbl Status During Prior Month].PID;

When I execute the following query it returns a count of 540

SELECT DISTINCT Count([tbl Status During Prior Month].PID) AS CountOfPID
FROM [tbl Status During Prior Month]
WHERE ((([tbl Status During Prior Month].Status) In ("RP","RM","RH","SP","SM","SH","PL","PM","PH")));

Why is the count not 341? Thanks
