I believe it's due to the restore process copying from the backup
machine after the download server was fresh installed.

I'm not sure assigning ownership to a single user solves the problem,
assuming we know who the user should be for a given project. The group
is already set to users and everyone with access is part of that group
so it should provide access for them to chown if they want. Note I only
did it on grass and pgRouting so far.

We've also been experimenting in the livedvd folder with methods for
automatically ensuring group write to all new subfiles/folders.

Thanks,
