Presuming it's a group permission problem, 1.3.3 handles them worse
than 1.4b2. The final release of 1.4 will not pass on any error that
chown() generates. As a matter of fact, you can verify that this is
your problem, by editing etc/afpd/unix.c and removing the return(-1)s
that follow the few chowns in setdirown(). Once you've done that, the
only way a chown() (or other group ownership problem) will give you
errors, is when the Mac specifically checks.

Actually, since the diff is small, find it below...
