How did you determine that userid 502 is backuppc4afs? Do "id backuppc4afs" and "id 502" return the same results? What about "su backuppc4afs -c id"?
Have you configured the Mac to be aware of either an ldap server or AD domain in Directory Services? It's easy to accidentally configure duplicate uids or uidnumbers if so. [Remember each Mac has its own directory service and only uses bsd flatfiles in single-user mode, so don't be distracted by them.] If you find you do have a duplicate, file ownership may be an issue after correcting it. Cheers, Stephen (who has discovered there are generally more reasons to dislike Macs than to like them) -- Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
