I have the following structure (property is in the form user:group, user A belongs to both groups A and B, user B is just in the B group) :

+ dir1           rwxrwxr-x     A:A
+ dir2           rwxrwxr-x     A:B
  - file1        rw-rw-r--     B:B
  + dir3         rwxrwxr-x     B:B
    -file2       rw-rw-r--     B:B

I (as user A) want to move file2 to dir1. When I do so, I get a "Permisson denied" error (while moving file1 to dir1 is working fine). As a result file2 is copied in dir1 but still remains in dir3 as if the group write permission was ignored for the suppression.

What is the problem here?

EDIT:

Maybe there's a problem with the group assignation, here's the result of a few commands: 

$ whoami
A
$ groups
A                   <-- ??? why
$ groups A
A : A B

Moreover, the mv I'm trying to do is in a script called by a crontab job, and it's working frmo there. Is there something to do to "refresh" groups assignments?

Ok, apparently you have to logout for the changes to take effect, this topic explains how to bypass the logout if needed.
