Can you try using the set-gid bit on the affected directory ( /var/www/secure/data/ ) to force the group ownership of objects created there to have same group ID as the directory, viz: chgrp webdev /var/www/secure/data/ chmod g+s /var/www/secure/data/ >From your text, it appear you have objects getting created with appropriate group write permissions. -Alan
