Depends.  On filesystems with BSD behavior, new files
(and directories) inherit the group of the enclosing
directory.

On filesystems with SysV behavior, setting the setgid bit
(02000) on the enclosing directory causes created files
and directories to inherit the group from the directory.
Created directories also inherit the setgid bit.

Generally, setting the setgid bit on every directory where
the group should be preserved does what you need without
"fixing" anything.

What am i missing?
