So, to be clear, you su as the user hobbit and change to that

Sorry didn't read the original email..... Just ignore that question.
Is it just *this* user or *this* directory? Have you tried creating
another user in the adm group or create another (unrelated) directory
with the same rights? This is odd.
host:~# mkdir /blah
host:~# cd /blah/
host:/blah# touch test
host:/blah# chgrp adm test
host:/blah# chmod 640 test
host:/blah# ls -l
total 0
-rw-r----- 1 root adm 0 2011-03-29 17:15 test
host:/blah# su - hobbit
hobbit at host:~$ cat /blah/test
cat: /blah/test: Permission denied
Looks like any file in any directory has the same problem....
Thanks,
