this is the fix (provided by apple support)...

toggle the setting a couple of times (ie. check use unix perms; save; check
inherit perms; save).

Hello,

I have MacOS 10.2.5 server. This concerns file share using AFP. I
created a sharepoint with some sub folders for each user. Now I need to
allow a manager to read and write files/folders to each users folder. I
only want users to read and write files/folders in their own folder.
below are the steps I took.

1. created all the users and a group for all the users to access the
top level sharepoint and called it workergroup.

2. created another group for the manager called managergroup.

3. for each users folder I made their username the owner, put
managergroup under group with read/write, and none for everybody.

Now everything is working as planned except when the manager adds
files. It makes the manager as the owner but leaves managergroup as
group and everybody as none. Folders made by the manager keep the same
correct permissions. I set the sharepoint to inherit permissions from
perent. I also searched the Apple discussion forum and tried the
inherit_permissions and other netinfo fixes. Anyone have a fix that
works?
