Think of this...

it is possible that the files were assigned permissions outside a "standard" UNIX permission model and using Access Control Lists. It is a long topic, "man getfacl", or just google it. UNIX Academy had a paper related to their training that describes it well. Also check the directory for a sticky bit. Also, make sure that the files are on the same machine (within the same permission set) and on the same filesystem model (not Samba share, or anything that works outside UNIX permission model).
