I wish it were so, Rick.

Complications result from the fact that these files come from a WinDoze 
computer and we're using pscp.com to copy them.  The source file has the 
"Archive" bit set, but by the time it reaches the ext2 filesystem 
somehow they muddle through with 644 permissions.

I wanted to get 664 so the group could overwrite.
