ACL and posix conflict? Can't get folder access to work properly

Question

We have a folder on our website that all employees need to be able to write to, but they do not need to be able to create folders or delete anything. There is a second group with full permissions to the folder.
ACLs:
Upload Full Access - R&W
Company Access - Custom (full read, write does not include: create folder, delete, delete subfolders and files)
POSIX:
O: _www : R
G: Company Access : R
E: None
The full access group is easy and works perfectly.
The limited group is a pain and the permissions don't work 100% the way needed.
With that setup, they cannot create new files at all.
If I set G: R&W, then they have free reign as the ACL is being ignored.
If I set G: R, then they have no write abilities as the ACL is being ignored.
With either group setting if I grant "create folder" permission in the custom ACL, then users can create folders and they have full create/delete permissions within the new folders, but this is what I need to prevent not allow.
I've never had problem setting up a share with strange ACL access permissions before. Does this directory hate me? I'd like to do this without having to create another user group.
Suggestions?

Hi,
Yes, the GUI of ServerAdmin won't add the <Directory> config sections to the apache config file. Read about that <Directory> config section, look at /etc/apache2/httpd.conf and /etc/apache2/sites/0000SOMETHING.
The good news is once you put the <Directory> config sections in there, it will stay there.
In someways the GUI of ServerAdmin is bad, in that it is just adding text lines to your apache config file, and it doesn't alway know what to add, whereas if one must do one's own typing in the config file, then one is aware of what is in there, what it is doing.
I ran into a similar issue. But do read the config files, and the apache.org documentation. It is good documentation, and the config files are pretty clear to follow.
