Check the ACDs.  I'm no expert by any means, but with my very small amount of
knowledge on the subject I've gotten the impression that there are at least 4
places to specify who can get at what:

  1) MPE permissions
  2) ACDs
  3) Whether a file is released or not
  4) POSIX permissions

How those relate and what can or cannot be set on a given file is not something
I know off the top of my head.  It's a place to look, though, and perhaps this
message will trigger a treatise on the subject by someone who does know.

          ==========================================================
How can you shorten the subject? That stern struggle with the multiplication
table, for many people not yet ended in victory, how can you make it less?
Square root, as obdurate as a hardwood stump in a pasture--nothing but years
of effort can extract it. You can't hurry the process. Or pass from
arithmetic to algebra; you can't shoulder your way past quadratic equations
or ripple through the binomial theorem. Instead, the other way; your feet
are impeded in the tangled growth, your pace slackens, you sink and fall
somewhere near the binomial theorem with the calculus in sight on the
horizon. So died, for each of us, still bravely fighting, our mathematical
training; except for a set of people called "mathematicians" -- born so,
like crooks.
                        -- Leacock, Stephen
