SYMPTOMS
========
The primary group of a new folder on a Macintosh volume is the same as the
container's primary group instead of being the owner's primary group as stated
in the documentation and the help file.
CAUSE
=====
When you request that the MacFile service creates a new folder, the MacFile
service sets the folder's primary group as the user's primary group. However,
the Macintosh operating system immediately modifies the folder's primary group,
making it identical to that of the upper-level folder (the container). If you
don't notice the initial setting, you may believe Services for Macintosh is not
operating as documented.
RESOLUTION
==========
To have the new folder's primary group match the user's primary group, the user
and the container should have the same primary group.
