copying in nautilus



I have setup a NFS-mounted directory and using setgid to force group
permissions, my goal is to have people drag-n-drop files in there, and
depending on who the user is, the group permissions will be setup
accordingly.

The problem as I discovered is, copying from command line is fine, but
if I do it from Nautilus via drag-n-drop, it will preserve the old group
setting. For example, if I created a file with permission user.one, when
I copy it over to the NFS-mounted directory, it is automatically
switched to user.two. But if I perform the same task in Nautilus, it
preserves the group permission and I still get a user.one permission in
the NFS-mounted directory.

It appears to me that Nautilus is using "cp -a" under the hood to
perform the drag-n-drop option, and if so, is there anyway I can change
this in a config file?
