I've seen some proprietary systems do weird stuff like make certain users have UID 0 or be a member of group "root", you might want to check those two things. I know it sounds silly, but that really does sound like a strange UID 0 thing...

By chance are you falling fowl to user info caching?  Adding a user to a
group won't affect any sessions that were already started before the
change.

Having each user run the "groups" command will tell the story.  Or just
have them log out/in again.
Greetings!

I have checked caching and it isn't the issue.

I mentioned that the path is /data/share/share{123}. If I "rsync -avHlP"
the directories to /data/temp/, it works perfectly the way it should.
/data is a single partition volume on the same file system.

In fact, I created /data/testing/ and verified that all of the
permissions are working properly. I then 'mv /data/testing
/data/share/.' and those _exact_ permissions that were working, stop.
The exact same problem as the original folders.

Some thing some how is making the permissions in /data/share more
liberal and I am at a complete loss as to what it is. I am convinced it
is something on the file system but that is about as far as I have got.

SELinux isn't flagging anything. ACL's are not enabled. And every Linux
system I mount this partition on shows the exact same odd behavior once
I copy over the users/groups. It has to be something on the file system,
but I haven't ever seen anything like this that so blatantly refuses to
adhere to the Linux permissions.


Thanks for the suggestion though! I do appreciate it.
