rights problem on incoming directory

[matthieumarrast]

Our system administrators created an ftp user with the mfdata incoming directory (/home/mfdata/var/in/incoming) as the HOME dir.

We face the below error on the switch plugin:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/metwork-mfdata-2.2/bin/before_start_step.switch.main", line 21, in <module>
    os.chmod(path, st.st_mode | stat.S_IWGRP)
PermissionError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: '/home/mfdata/var/in/incoming'

I don't know if they installed metwork/mfdata before or after creating the ftp user. After I suppose, otherwise the rights would not have been modified.
So it appears the rights of the incoming dir are not "mfdata:metwork":

root@server in$ ll
total 0
drwxrwxr-x+ 2 userftp users    6  7 août  12:40 incoming

While installing mfdata, is it possible to chown the incoming directory (and/or all the wached directories) to mfdata:metwork if it already exists !?

I think it's done already :

   {% if MFMODULE == "MFDATA" %}
        mkdir -p /home/{{MFMODULE_LOWERCASE}}/var/in >/dev/null 2>&1
        chown -R {{MFMODULE_LOWERCASE}}:metwork /home/{{MFMODULE_LOWERCASE}}/var >/dev/null 2>&1
        chmod g+rX /home/{{MFMODULE_LOWERCASE}} >/dev/null 2>&1
        chmod g+rX /home/{{MFMODULE_LOWERCASE}}/var >/dev/null 2>&1
        chmod g+rX /home/{{MFMODULE_LOWERCASE}}/var/in >/dev/null 2>&1
    {% endif %}
