Yep. Brain-too-tired-error. :-)

Actually, the best way would have been:

cp download.cgi /tmp
rm download.cgi
mv /tmp/download.cgi .
chmod 755 download.cgi

One of the perks of Unix is, that you can unlink the file (write permission to the directory) but not change its permissions.

Sorry for the noise.

        Best regards

Is there some type of ACL on this that won't allow me (member of group

No, that's just how chmod works:

$ man chmod

  ...
     Only the owner of a file or the super-user is permitted to change the
     mode of a file.
