cannot edit xmp infor

Question

Hi,

We found that you cannot edit xmp information of files 
if you do not own the file.
We get error "There was an error writing metadata to [filename]."

I tried all of the suggestion of this;
http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/331581.html

In our workflow, one person import files, and 
other person edit the xmp information. They belong to 
same group, and the permission of the files to open for them.

If we change the owner (ie. 'sudo chown' in terminal) you can 
edit the info, but we don't want to give all users sudo 
permission to change the owner. This is serious problem for us.
Does anybody know the way to edit the files that somebody 
else imported?

Thank you,
junko

I tried. Actually, I am using the panels which permission
to open everybody as the test (-rw-rw-rw-),
but I still get the error.

I made a command line script using XMP SDK, and it can update
the information. I also can update label and rating.
I am wondering if it is a bug of bridgeIt.

In the worst scenario, I have to make a new interface outside
Bridge to update the xmp data with SDK. I don't have time
to make the interface because of the deadline of the project,
and am really hoping there is any way to update it inside Bridge.

Thank you for the advice, anyways.
