Subject: [netatalk-admins] Cannot be moved to the Trash -- Delete Immediately?

OK, I'm sure this one ought to be a FAQ. I've been in exactly this spot
before, but I don't know how to get out of it now, and I've been banging my
head against the wall for hours.
I have a problem on netatalk shared volumes with Trash Cans becoming
unreadable. Or, more precisely, one user will throw something into the
Trash, and from that point on the Trash can is "owned" by that user.
Everyone else who still has permission to write to the volume gets the
message: "File XXXX cannot be moved to the Trash. Do you want to delete
it immediately?"
It seems the problem is that all my users are in the same default group (as
opposed to being in their own, separate groups as in many Linux systems).
The Network Trash Folders are being created with these permissions:
drwx--Srwx ... user1 users Network Trash Folder
inside this folder (having just tossed something in the Trash) are these:
drwx--S--- ... user1 users Trash Can #2
-rw----rw- ... user1 users Trash Can Usage Map
As near as I can tell, because the next user to connect to the volume is in
the same group as the first one, they can't read the Trash Can Usage Map or
the contents of the other Trash Can #2, and so it won't let them put
anything in the Trash!
Am I off base in my reading here? How to fix? It must be possible!
Umask, maybe? But where -- how?
Any help appreciated.
