Given that we cannot see you server, have no access to it and no desire to do anything on it anyway, perhaps you could actually use the real values (not username and groupname, but user rbatte1 group admin or whatever) and share the screen output (pasted in CODE tags) from the following:-

Code:

uname -a                                 # What OS & version are we dealing with
getent group your_group_name             # Is the group listing okay, and does it contain the permitted user
getent user permitted username           # Is the user listing okay and does it have the required group
ls -l /path/to/folder                    # Long list the files in the target directory (or a specific file for clarity
ls -dl /path/to/folder                   # Long list the target directory, looking at permissions there
getenforce                               # Check SELinux state

It would take the guesswork out of it and it is unlikely that there is anything that would be commercially sensitive for you to worry about.

Thanks, in advance,
Robin
