Jim,
The /u/rms directory is inheriting the SGID bit from the parent (/u)
directory. I can't remember why AIX does this, but it does.
To get rid of the SGID bit on your rms directory simply issue the chmod
command like this:
chmod -s /u/rms
If you want to make sure new directories under the /u directory don't get
the SGID bit set, use the above chmod syntax on /u
