Who are you copying as? Only root can assign ownership (as opposed to taking ownership, which is intrinsic for new files, and can be granted with an ACL).

But BetterAuthorizationSample is very complicated and I'm not 100% sure. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
