No worries. Please don't top post; it is harder to read things as a
conversation.

Might I suggest something else then? Gateway directories.

Instead of doing this by filename, make directories in your naming
scheme and lock down _their_ permissions. For example:

  mkdir just_group1
  chgrp group1 just_group1
  chmod 770 just_group1

Now, provided a user's working directory is _outside_ just_group1,
only users in group1 can get at the files inside, regardless of the
state of the file permissions.
