I think you have the right idea. But I've never been able to get a shared plugin directory working. I allow them to be unpacked in the default dir ~/.maven/plugins.
I have been able to set up my local repository in the way that you're suggesting though.
Try doing chgrp and chmod with the -v (verbose) option to make sure that all files are being affected.
The problem is the way the plugin:install goal works. It modifies the installation plugin directory, as well as the ~/.maven/plugins.
Normally this isn't a problem--until you try to do plugin development.

I want to set up Maven 1.0rc1 on my linux laptop for all users, but I am running
into problems because all new plugins need to be installed by root, which makes
the process of installing and debugging plugins a real problem.
I have set the plugins directory with the following settings:
chgrp -R users plugins chmod -R g+w plugins
I still can't let users update and add plugins at this location. Also, how many
others are using Maven with a real operating system (Windows doesn't count)?
The issues are completely with permissions.
