Hi,

rwxrwSr-- Means SUID bit is set for group. it is not sticky bit.

Do #chmod 770 dirname

The capital 'S' implies that the real mode of your directory is 2764: rwx for owner, rw and sgid on group and readable to world.

A sgid on a directory results in files created there will be automatically of the group of the directory.

To remove a sgid bit on the directory, you can do:
chmod g-s

This will not result in the drwxrwxr-- mode you want in this case (because the 'S' is upper and not lower case).
