You've lost me now; I think you need to give more examples.

* Name of file
* Current user ID of file
* Current group ID of file
* New user ID of file
* New group ID of file

My understanding was:

* Name of file = username
* Current user ID of file = something-wrong
* Current group ID of file = somegroup
* New user ID of file = username
* New group ID of file = somegroup

Are you saying that:

* New user ID of file = username.somegroup
* New group ID of file = somegroup

Do all the accounts username.somegroup exist in your /etc/passwd ?

Paul.
