Yea, for the most part, the users are already members of multiple groups.

But I've discovered some rather strange behaviour. If a user would open a
window, and the icon which indicates that the directory is read-only
appears at the upper left, the user can create a directory, but not delete
it. Also if a user would edit a file in that same read-only directory
with something like Simpletext, they can write their changes, but they
cannot write the file using something like BBEdit.

Oh, and this is netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.0a14 if that might make a difference.

Any other suggestions?

Aa.
