[Solved] Trouble setting up a shared folder

I'm trying to set up a folder in my home directory that will be shared with another user but for some reason it is not working this is what I've done, I have tried two different ways using ACL's and chown/chgrp etc

I set up a group called say: sharedgroup and added both my user (john) and fred to it so when I run
Code:
groups john
john wheel sharedgroup

groups fred
sharedgroup fred 

mkdir /home/john/shared
vim /home/john/shared/hello.txt (typed in some text saved it)
chown -R :sharedgroup shared
chmod -R o=-rwx shared
ll
drwxrwx--- 2 john sharedgroup   4096 Sep  9 21:14 shared
ll shared
-rw-rw-r-- 1 john sharedgroup 7 Sep  9 21:14 hello.txt

(I also tried adding in the s permissions but that didn't help either)



then when I log out of the server and log back in as fred and try these commands they fail
Code:
vim /home/john/shared/hello.txt (won't allow me to write opens a blank file)
cd /home/john/shared
 PERMISSION DENIED
ls /home/john/shared
 PERMISSION DENIED

Any idea what I'm doing wrong??

NAME
pure-quotacheck - Update virtual quota files for Pure-FTPd SYNTAX
pure-quotacheck -u username/gid -d home directory [-g group/gid] DESCRIPTION
pure-quotacheck create a .ftpquota file in the specified directory. This file contains the current file and size of the directory, and it is used by Pure-FTPd when virtual quotas are enabled. It's recommended to periodically run pure-quotacheck for every user, in crontabs. OPTIONS
-d <directory> Scans the specified <directory>. -g <group or gid> Sets the group files will be scanned as. This is optional : if a user name is passed to -u</fR>, group are automatically retrieved. -u <user or uid> Set the user name files will be scanned as. This is mandatory, and it can't be "root". -h Output usage information and exit. FILES
.ftpquota EXAMPLES
To run this program the standard way type: pure-quotacheck -u john -d /home/john AUTHORS
Frank DENIS <j at pureftpd dot org> SECURITY
pure-quotacheck switches real and effective uids/gids as soon as possible. Root privileges are never given back. pure-quotacheck refuses to scan directories with uid = 0 (root) or gid = 0 (wheel/root) . pure-quotacheck performs a chroot() call to the home directory. It never traverses parent directories. pure-quotacheck only scans real files (no socket, no pipe, etc) . pure-quotacheck enforces read access on directories to prevent against people doing chmod 0 before a quota scan. pure-quotacheck enforces write access on the home directory to properly write the .ftpquota file. pure-quotacheck never scans the same inode/device pair twice.
