Sorry all... Finally found the answer.

This command allows me to create files/dirs with the correct Group Ownership:
Code:
usermod -g nagios scpuser


Thanks,
Matt

Hey Corona, thanks for the reply...

I got it now, but I had tried logging in through ssh and also with 'su scpuser', and both had the same result.

But anyway it seems to be working now.

Thanks Again,
Matt

       The  original  locale  that  was  used  to  create  the initial set of XDG User Directories on first login is stored in the file ${XDG_CON-
       FIG_HOME}/user-dirs.locale.

       Should the user decide to update to the current locale, then xdg-user-dirs-update will be used to perform the desired action.
