James, did you ever read the link that I posted earlier? I suspect
you're still NOT checking the directories in the path that precede
your file object. EACH of the directories in your path MUST have at
minimum *X, the directory that contains your file must have *WX, and
the file object itself must all *OBJEXIST authority...

Uh, (1) the directories that always behaved properly were direct sister-directories to the one that was malfunctioning, i.e., in the same immediate parent directory, so path could not have been involved, and (2) in the malfunctioning directory, the owners of all files created after it began malfunctioning were explicitly locked out of object authorities for their files, and (3) the malfunctioning directory had no authority line at all for the owner, and as soon as I added one, it started behaving properly.

The only question remaining is how the owner's authority line for the malfunctioning directory disappeared in the first place, and why its absence would cause everything created therein to be created with an owner authority line explicitly locking out the owner's object authorities.
