Cool.  Thanks.  I'll have to explore ACLs in more detail at some point.

For the time being, it's working fine via my having updated permissions 
the old fashioned way.

Actually, I was a little surprised at the necessity, since the iPhoto 
library lives on an external drive which is supposed to ignore 
ownership.

I'm really surprised this hasn't bugged more people.  I wonder what 
other families do.  (I know of at least a couple who simply don't worry 
about a canonical archive and, in fact, have their pix spread out 
across a variety of online services - ugh - insane if you ask me!  
There's probably nothing more precious on my computer than my 
collection of family photos and videos.)
