After being properly hit over the head with the man page of chmod(1),
the following passage came to light:
Note that the setgid bit cannot be set (or cleared) in abso-
lute mode; it must be set (or cleared) in symbolic mode
using g+s (or g-s).
Thanks to Dan, Dave, and Brett for a quick and LARTful response.
