Indeed. Unfortunately (in this case) we had already disabled unix 
extensions a while back when 10.6.8/10.7 came out and we started seeing 
similar permission issues. I'm surprized that "force security mode" 
wouldn't work. That actually sounds like a bug if that's the case. I 
don't believe I ever actually tested it myself but we did pin that as 
another possible solution at that time.

This seems to be a different but similar issue on some new machines with 
10.8. I'm not yet sure if it's an OS issue or a application issue. So 
far, I've only seen it when a user 'packages' a project from Adobe 
InDesign. Many of the extra files in the 'package' (just a folder, not 
an archive or anything) end up without group permissions which is a big 
issue for them.
