Is this structure possible?

["K.C. Baltz" <kc...@lollimail.com>]

I would like to structure my files/permissions in the following way and 
I want to know how to do it if it's possible as I have been unsuccessful 
so far.

My users are arranged in a hierarchy of groups.  I would like to have a 
/files  directory for each group and I would like the permissions such 
that a member of a group has access to the directory for that group, as 
well as the subdirectories which belong to the subgroups. 

E.g.

/users/groupA
/users/groupB      <-- groupB is a child of groupA

/files
/files/groupA
/files/groupA/groupB

Users in groupA should be able to access /files/groupA and 
/files/groupA/groupB.

Users in groupB should only be able to access /files/groupA/groupB.

I've tried to set this up by granting inheritable permissions to groupA 
for /files/groupA, which works (users in groupA can access all the 
directories) until I grant permissions to groupB for 
/files/groupA/groupB.  Once I do that, no one can access 
/files/groupA/groupB. 

Help?

It turns out this was my fault.  I am trying to build a custom store and 
was experimenting, trying to make a few things work.  I was hand editing 
the database and didn't have all the entries in the various revisions 
tables and that seems to have broken it.  I now have the structure I 
described working.
