Did you use -A when you copied the files? (Archive, preserve owner/perms)

Also, on some machines, cobalt mounts /home with sticky group bit set ,
look at the options in /etc/fstab, the problem is, you will loose the
group id's when you copy files because of this....

The 'grpid' option to mount says 'when creating a directory, give it the
group id of the directory it's in unless it's in a SGID directory already,
then give it the group of the owner of the directory, if you don't make cp
override this behaviour, all your ownerships will get snarfed ;P

ps: The sticky groups are needed on these machines so admin's uploading to
sites will properly set file ownership to their group/site, tho, i think
proftp can handle this now, i wonder if this option is really still
needed, it certainly causes interesting things when it interacts with the
sticky owner (+t) bit on the mail spool....
