POSIX is the answer.  :-)

Instead of trying to store your trans-account files under /ACCOUNT/GROUP/,
store them in /ACCOUNT/GROUP/hfsdir/:

        :hello USER.ACCOUNT
        :xeq sh.hpbin.sys
        $ cd /ACCOUNT/GROUP
        $ mkdir hfsdir
        $ chmod 777 hfsdir

Now *anybody* can create or delete files in /ACCOUNT/GROUP/hfsdir.

If the *anybody* aspect bothers you, you should be able to tighten that up
by manually tweaking the ACDs on hfsdir (i.e. :altsec instead of chmod).
