Rashkae,
Get this, I just did this from gnome-terminal:

andy.graybeal at buddleia:~$ touch milkmandan
andy.graybeal at buddleia:~$ ls -al milkmandan
-rw-rw-r-- 1 andy.graybeal andy.graybeal 0 2010-09-14 17:27 milkmandan
andy.graybeal at buddleia:~$ chmod g-w milkmandan
andy.graybeal at buddleia:~$ ls -al milkmandan
-rw-r--r-- 1 andy.graybeal andy.graybeal 0 2010-09-14 17:27 milkmandan
andy.graybeal at buddleia:~$ cp milkmandan /srv/Desktop/Tech/
andy.graybeal at buddleia:~$ ls -al /srv/Desktop/Tech/milkmandan
-rw-r--r--+ 1 andy.graybeal tech 0 2010-09-14 17:28 
/srv/Desktop/Tech/milkmandan
andy.graybeal at buddleia:~$ getfacl /srv/Desktop/Tech/milkmandan
getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
# file: srv/Desktop/Tech/milkmandan
# owner: andy.graybeal
# group: tech
user::rw-
group::rwx			#effective:r--
mask::r--
other::r--


So it does the same thing from gnome-terminal. I'll be the first to 
admit, I have no clue what I'm doing.

Thank you for your input.
