Hi Markus,
BTW (me being pedantic), it's not the "sticky" bit but the "setuid" or "setgid" bit (a common mistake). The "sticky" bit is for something else altogether - usually used in /tmp to prevent others being allowed to delete files.
I didn't try anything out, or read the documentation, but having setgid bit on a directory causes all files within that directory to inherit the group. Normally it would also cause child directories to inherit the setgid bit in the permissions too, but I suspect that the fact that VersionSync is controlling the permissions via these two environment variables means that you need to tell it to explicitly set the setgid bit.
I doubt the setuid bit is needed though. I don't think that does anything (except allow executables to be run as a different user).
Regards,
Andrew.
