You are fighting with msec which runs every hour and resets the permissions. What is it you want to do? My guess is that you want a directory where all members of the 'users' group can put stuff. If this is the case:
mkdir -m 2770 /home/ubw/users chown admin.users /home/ubw/users > drwxrwsrwx 26 admin users 4096 Aug 7 10:29 ubw/ > ^ notice s not x This is not the chattr command. This is the directory sticky bit which means all files and directories created under this directory will have the same group ownership as this directory. This is what you want.
