Thanks to Ric Werne and Dave Holland

This is expected BSD filesystem behaviour, contrasting with what I
was expecting (POSIX behaviour).

Files are inheriting their directory's group ownership. I have to
admit this makes a certain amount of sense, although in a mixed Linux/
Tru64 environment it causes considerable confusion!

Thanks to everyone.

Tim
